This is a personal portfolio piece in collaboration with David Stuart. We talked and talked for months about what kind of story we could tell in the foreground of this old cotton mill. We imagined homeless guys selling lemonade, a little girl selling lemonade, a little homeless girl? Carting around her remaining possessions? A bunch of dolls? What if she's burying the dolls? And she's wearing funeral black. Now we're on to something!
This is a composite of about 50 shots. This scene does not exist in real life, only in our minds. And in our portfolios.
