2021

I have a series of photos called Lives Real and Imagined that I worked on quite a bit a few years back, even publishing a set of them in LensWork magazine.

Even then, I wasn’t convinced But there was a woman standing in the open front door, so it was at least occupied if not actually involved in commerce that day.
