Summary:

There are hundreds of thousands of family photo albums in California, packed into dresser drawers and bedroom closets. Each represents a unique emotional and historical archive. Shades of California draws upon this wealth of personal history to present California not as the media portray it, but rather as we residents live it -- a California of family picnics, high school graduations, a couple's first dance, siblings at play. Created as a joyful recognition of the value and beauty of our everyday life, Shades of California celebrates delight, engagement, and passion. While each photo is specific to a person and a place, together they reflect our collective humanity.
