These two groups of images represent different ways to represent a person. The large scale color images are a way to mythologize and aggrandize the powerful images of women of a certain age. It isn't about the beauty of youth as much as it is about the beauty of a kind of hope and natural power that tends to diminish with time. The black and white images are a collection that feel like portraits in that they are an essence of something about the person that I love. They are mostly candid shots and often people I know.
