“We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It’s our basic human right.” ~ Aretha Franklin 1942-2018
“You don’t have to go looking for pictures. The material is generous. You go out and the pictures are staring at you.” ~ Lee Friedlander
Portraits come in all sizes and colors. They may be posed or they may be unposed for the few seconds one needs to push the button. Some are preceded by a look that says “may I”; others may be taken at a weekly drum circle where participants and onlookers recognize the wandering photographers. And all should be taken with respect.
