Rashod taylor, a fine-art photographer based in Bloomington, Illinois, has been documenting Black American life for years. His ongoing analog photo series Little Black Boy is an intimate and weighty record of his son’s childhood. It began in 2015, when his son was born. This year, after the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protest movement that followed, Taylor’s black-and-white family portraits acquired even more gravity. We recently talked about how fatherhood, patriotism, and Blackness coalesce, in both joyous and uneasy ways, in his project.
