| "Bracelets" - Shadae had hit it "big time". Out of the back woods of Mississippi to the bright lights of New York City, she had made her mark. This was one pose the photographers loved. Anything that showed that long, lanky body with a sophisticated expression brought her big bucks. The most sought-after model from the Darwin Modeling Agency. Yes, that was her all right.
She walked away from the mirror and her dreams, lay back on the bed, wound the rubber tie around her long beautiful arm, picked up the full syringe and injected more of the "stuff" to make her dream really come true. |

| "Fish Girl" - I would just love to be able to walk around with a freshly caught fish on my head! What a joy to live in a society where this would not be looked upon as "strange"! In a little coastal village in West Africa I came upon this happy girl and snapped her picture as one of my mementos of the various trips I have taken to Africa.
And, when I got home, looking at this picture, naturally, I thought about putting a fish on my head and going out for a stroll, but instead got out my pastels and painted "Fish Girl". (I do occasionally wear strange hats, which satisfies my need for unconventional headgear. And, when I get smiles from passersby, I nod my head back and smile just like "Fish Girl"). |

Ursaline

| "Ursaline" - Ursaline was the child of my neighbor's maid. I watched her grow up into a beautiful young woman. She was a sweet as she was beautiful. When my friend sold her house and moved away, Ursaline and her mother decided to return to their native land...Haiti. A week later the devastating earthquake hit this tiny country, and thoughts of Ursaline and her mother ran through my mind.
I've watched the news and scanned all the newspapers and magazines looking for their faces with no luck. I have no way of getting in touch with them. I wouldn't know how. I guess I'm one of millions of concerned folks who watch the horrors of the terrible earthquake without knowing the fate of their loved ones. Why does tragedy always hit the poorest and most vulnerable? |
