In this photobook, I've gathered three photo series that go back to when my dad was living alone and really fell into drinking. The first set of photos: I took them right after he was hospitalized. I hadn't been to his place in a while, so I decided to document where he lived and all his stuff. I went with black and white and distorted the images to try and show how crazy things must have been for him. The other two sets are photos that my dad took himself a few years earlier. In one set, he's snapping pics of his own paintings. He always had a good eye for photos, but these have the classic finger in the shot, just like those in some old albums found by Kessels. The last ones are portraits of bartenders at their workplace — he was there way more than he was at home.
