23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Dynamics of Change

This was taken in an abandoned kitchen in Scotland and includes my good friend, Helen Joy, and my partner, Steve. Helen and I talk a lot of our pasts and the lives of our mothers. Together we try to visualize the dynamics of change. A housewife of the 70's breaking free from domestic duties and the impact this has on the man of the family. Hopefully, as need for second incomes increased and women's independence flourished, they learned to compromise.
