Thanks for happening to put it in front of me. In my spare time, when I have to earn a living, I am a writer and critic, and as a critic I have noticed that very few American novels anymore feature poor working people -- even in passing. Once our greatest literature was about poor working people. The same, I'm discovering, holds true for a lot of photography these days. Once, the poor were at the center of the photographer's concerns. Now, not so much. I bet among serious photographers there are more pictures taken of transgender people in bad makeup or of dogs or of cats than there are of working people in any given season... So your work was not only beautiful to the eye, but also fed the psyche on another level. All best, V PS Are you using an M8? Film?
