In 1993 my life permanently changed course while traveling in Africa. I can't say why but it was there I realized people not only communicate with others by their dress, body decorations, and behavior they also gain "a sense of self" which is equally, if not more, important. |

Paris Lady
2005 |
)
|
| Mystery surrounds this woman and that captivates me. On a street in Paris she stands at the threshold of a partially open door. Anxious? Obsessing? Shall I go? Or stay? "She's me forgodsakes! It's like she's been hiding or trapped the whole time I lived in there. I don't know. Maybe paralyzed." |
|
Dance Man
2004 |
)
|
| Dancing on the street in New York city, a man exhibits himself. He demands, and gets, public attention even while he lives in a private world. |
|
Mayday! Mayday!
2006 |
)
|
| His T-shirt reads: "I found Jesus. So can you." A "crusader" mesmerized by lovers. " It's the point of life he's obsessing about; yearning as a circumstance and possibility as an interpretation." |
|
Mise en scene
2006 |
)
|
| In Venice, California a chance meeting seems to create anxiety about what happens next. "All of us, we're invention cruising the avenues." |
|
Liberty Street
2006 |
)
|
| On a smoking break, a construction worker at the ground zero site in New York city watches blacks relaxing curbside while men in suits pass by. I think about race relations, prejudice, and economic disparity. |
|
Men Working
2004 |
)
|
| In front of a "Men Working" sign, a Black Muslim in Savannah, GA hawks newspapers headlining "Saving The Family". |
|
Subway Girl
2004 |
)
|
| On a subway in New York. I loved this woman's big, dark eyes staring at me ... hostile, curious, and sad simultaneously. |
|
Heavy Baggage
2006 |
)
|
| Venice, CA. While it was astonishing to see how the man resembled the mannequin, what I thought about was the fantasies of youth one becomes burdened with in old age. "...heavy baggage haunting his future, the ingenue whose heart he can't break." |
