Residencies: Residency, Light Work, 1995 Publications: Nueva Luz, Volume 5#1 “I’'ve always photographed my family; however, it wasn'’t until about seven years ago that I decided to do it intensely. Part of the catalyst for this was the lack of documentary photography I saw that dealt with middle-class African-American family life. The scenes depicted include everyday activities as well as special events, and my goal has been to photograph them in a manner which infuses them with beauty, drama and wry humor – in essence, to capture the spirit of kinship.” Excerpt from Nueva Luz Volume 5:1 |
