The Jefferson Memorial itself is a marvel to behold. It’s classical design and imposing stature reflect the ideals of liberty and enlightenment that Jefferson championed. Against this backdrop, each photograph captured the Ferryman family’s bond—a testament to their own journey through life’s triumphs and challenges.
