 © Tony Mendoza, Untitled, Stories series, 1983.  © Tony Mendoza, Untitled, Stories series, 1983. "I've always liked the idea of having a family, but never felt emotionally or financially ready. When I turned 42, I started thinking that I was emotionally and financially unable to remain single."  © Tony Mendoza, Untitled, Stories series, 1983. "This is what I do for work. I take pictures of my family, my cat, myself. I print the pictures and submit them for grants. With the grant money, I rent a summer place by a tropical ocean. I lie on the water and photograph my toes. I print the picture and write on it a story about what I do for work." |
