Greta
had often talked about her wonderful 87 year old auntie Dora, whose
memoires she was translating from German to English. When I heard that
Dora was driving up in her orange Volkswagon bug for a visit, I couldn't
resist being present with my camera. And when this moment of sharing
affection, respect and energy over a fruit salad desert appeared across
the picnic table from me, I was inspired.
My greatest joy in photography is making images of the bits of daily
life that make it all worthwhile and bridge the gap of solitude.
