THIS IS US tribute to Randall’s tree photograph

As a big This Is Us fan, I’ve been intrigued by the large black and white photograph of a bare tree in Randall’s living room.  Looming over the sofa and in the background of many a scene, this tree is not doubt a reference the Pearson’s family tree as well as the last resting place of their dear departed father.

 

THIS IS US on ABC – The Pearson family’s generational story unfolds in this emotional drama. In moments of love, joy, triumph and heartbreak, revelations emerge from parents Jack and Rebecca’s past, while triplets Kate, Randall and Kevin discover deeper meaning in their present day lives. Successful businessman and father Randall searches for information about his biological parents. Kate finds love and self-acceptance while battling obesity. Kevin pursues a more meaningful career, which brings some difficult choices.

I’ve been unable to discover who the photographer of the set photo is but I decided to attempt my own version of it.  Finding a grove of ancient, hundred plus year old apple trees tucked away in rural New Hampshire, I went in the snow with a variety of lens to capture these giant beauties.
