Lawrence, MA, 1981
‘I spent a lot of time photographing in the post-industrial towns around Boston: Lawrence, Lowell, Fall River, New Bedford, Fitchburg. I came upon this couple returning from shopping in Lawrence. I loved their plaid pants and the railroad tracks, factory smoke stacks, and the sign “American Food” in the background – a quintessentially American scene’

Mill Creek, WV, 1982
‘These young women seem to be as curious about me as I am about them. The presence of so many cigarettes is typical of the 1980s, and I love the wonderful spontaneity of the younger girls hanging upside down in the background. It’s kind of like a play-within-a-play’

Amigo Hollow, WV, 1982
‘In June of 1982, after visiting my mother in northern Virginia (where I had grown up),
I headed to West Virginia for about eight days. I was excited to find this family swimming in Amigo Hollow.
The people are clearly aware of me, and some are performing for the camera, yet at the same time they seem relaxed and quite natural.
This combination of performance and spontaneity (more difficult to capture in today’s self-conscious world) has always interested me’
