Images are made of family and neighbors in North Lawndale, my home on the west side of Chicago. Photographs are taken in abandoned lots within the community. The formal portraits serve to mark this empty space while also honoring the subject. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work is about reciprocity and mutuality, but also elements of uncertainty and power that underline the camera\u2019s limitations. Images do not try to offer an unadulterated \u201ctruth\u201d; rather they are carefully framed and composed portraits for the camera. My friends and family are aware of my presence and each image is the result of a self-conscious exchange between subject and photographer. The photographs strike a delicate balance between intimacy and distance, giving and taking. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
