Beyond the Family Album by Jo Spence looks at the typical family album and in a sense flips it. She captures the Kodak Moments you don't normally see or include within a family album such as family in hospital, a photo of someone beaten up. Spence sees the family album and photographs the stuff that happens behind the scenes. This is the type of stuff that would probably be frowned upon, especially in a family album, she questions the family album and who decided what should be included.
I like this work a lot and it questions the Kodak moment and what should and shouldnt be considered one, it gives the whole thing a different outlook and I think even to an outsider on photography maybe just the famil album type would it would make them question and wonder and also probably agree.
