The Ortons is a photographic documentary series on the lives of friends and neighbors Ed, Meredith, Parker and Maggie. For several months I captured the day to day of their lives. Through this journey I followed the Ortons on daily errands, around the house, at the stables and even Costco. These photos show the interaction amongst their pets, themselves and each other and what ‘normal’ looks like to a family ten years after a Schizophrenia diagnosis.
