AN AMERICAN FAMILY: Three Decades with the McGarveys (National Geographic)
WASHINGTON (Oct. 1, 2009)–In 1977 photojournalist Pam Spaulding set out to
record the unscripted, everyday life of the McGarvey family of Louisville, Ky.
They had just had their first baby, and the project — to document the lives
of new parents — was supposed to last one year. Thirty years, two more
children and one wedding later, the project finally came to an end. The result
is the richest photographic record of a single family ever made. This unique,
revealing and engaging group portrait is showcased in a new book from National
Geographic, **AN AMERICAN FAMILY: Three Decades with the McGarveys** (National
Geographic Focal Point; Oct. 20, 2009; ISBN: 978-1-4262-0504-0; $35;
hardcover).
Whether you think of it as the ultimate in time-lapse photography or a reality
show begun decades before its time, this intimate, 30-year look at one middle-
class family is Americana at its most evocative. The remarkable collection of
images peers into every aspect of the McGarvey family’s life to produce an
album that is instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever shared the
American experience.
From listening to a bedtime story to decorating the Christmas tree, from
playing a card game around the kitchen …
