What dinner time looks like across the USA
Growing up in Milwaukee, one of Lois Bielefeld’s chores was to make a weekend lunch for her family. It could be anything she wanted – as long as she stuck to a recipe and wrote out the ingredients for her parents.
This was the kind of household where the family always ate dinner together and you had to ask to be excused before leaving the table.
Although Lois has little memory of those meal times now, the photographer wonders whether those experiences inspired her to start Weeknight Dinners: a series of 78 portraits documenting people’s dinner rituals in all their idiosyncratic glory.
Wednesday: Natalia and Maryann.
