Synopsis

Real Pictures describes how a very large family and their many partners and offspring get through the day. There are babies being pushed out and food being cooked and dreamers staring at the ceiling. There are empty beds in good light. This is how Peggy Nolan sees the folks she loves and sometimes not even like so much. She has been looking at them through her view finder since most of them were small and has followed them around mosh pits and hangouts and fights with their boyfriends and girlfriends. Nolan was driven to witness all of it and leave behind a record of what it looked and felt like to be them.
