...stories of Freedom, Identity and Responsibility created in collaboration with writer, J. Otis Powell! in 2003 during the completion of a McKnight Fellowship in Photography

Evelyn: born in Delmar, Maryland in 1908, years before they started issuing social security cards… “Across regions of Evelyn’s laugh lines & frown lines & pensive lines of thought is a chronicle of a schizophrenic century.” Evelyn died in January 2004.

Beverly: born in Berkley, grew up in Kansas City and married me in Washington, DC… “The entire room lives somewhere in the reflection that she would never see, except for a photograph which captured the backward glance.”

Patricia: absorbed jazz in Kansas City, moved to Washington, DC; always wanted to live in San Francisco… “None of us know when the lights in our eyes will dim. We meander through our lives with more questions than answers, more confusion than clarity and more doubts about our future…” Patricia died in March 2003.

Kenna: all I ever really wanted you to be is responsible “You are your grandmothers, your mother & your daughter already. The world doesn’t know you but you have known the world from the inside, already; like a sleeper knows dreams.”
