Godes also turned the camera towards his own family. These images portray the Godes family during the 1910s and 1920s: portraits of his daughter Montserrat, his siblings and his parents, first communions, weddings, outings to Montserrat, the snowfall of 1924 and everyday life in the family home on Carrer Bertran in Barcelona.
