I see what you mean. I think that’s what appealed to me when I first saw the photograph. It tells a story that made me wonder and I wanted to capture that. The subject matter that fascinates me the most is people. I have always watched people. When Malls were big at the end of last century my favorite thing to do was to sit unobtrusively and watch them. It has been a lifelong thing. I’ve never tired of it.

Your observation is quite a compliment. Comparing my work in a positive way to Dorothea Lange’s incredible and timeless work, even in a passing way, is stunning. It blows me away!
