For me, the importance of photography is that it documents time. The beauty of photography is that by looking at a photograph, one can immediately experience long-ago moments, even bits of the lives people lived thousands of years ago—where, how and who they worshiped, and where they walked, worked, lived and loved. Now at 87 years old, those times are clear and present for me and I remember many wondrous people and places where I walked with camera and tripod. Many places are those I wouldn’t visit now, even as a young woman, but I have these documents that keep those times living for not only myself but anyone who views the photographs.

The present-day people who were generous to stop what they were doing, look into my camera lens and allow me to make their photograph will always be exactly as they were on the day the shutter snapped. These experiences became memories that will always live in my heart. They are an integral part of who I am today. I hope you are also touched by the photographs.
