I viewed your images this morning at a family reunion here in Spearfish, SD. Uniformly people were drawn into them - who is this woman? what is she doing? how is she living? It was PERSONAL for everyone who viewed them - they felt involved and wanted to know more and see more. Viewing time was not just a glance and move on but many minutes of looking and discussing and thinking about life under those conditions. Thank you for sharing. I think your display is completely appropriate and useful and in this case it'll be a dual between Philippe and me with squirt-guns at 500 cm!
