# Roller Coaster: Scenes from a Marriage - Hardcover

by **Aimee McCrory** (Photographer), **Gottman** (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), **Chehalis Hegner** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

**The joys and challenges of a long-term relationship**  
_Roller Coaster. Scenes from a Marriage_ expresses a variety of  
moments most long-term relationships face with intended honesty,  
intimacy, and humor. In western culture, growing old is often  
accompanied by feelings of shame. Terms such as losing your wits,  
becoming irrelevant and being abandoned haunt older individuals.  
Aimee McCrory's goal as a photographer is to raise awareness regarding  
the joys and the challenges of growing old together. Drawing upon her  
background in theater, she created the series as a pseudo- documentary  
version of the relationship with her husband of forty-two years, Don.  
McCrory manipulates their personal domestic circumstances just enough to  
heighten elements of mystery. The viewer's array of responses may say  
more about their domestic relationships than about what can be seen in  
the actual photographs.
