To Go Unnoticed

DateFriday, January 22, 2010 at 08:34AM

If I could have one superpower, I'd have the power to slip and out of an invisible state. I'm perfectly content being the silent witness in a room such as this beauty shop in Rwanda, but as a photographer it takes time to attain this status. First, I always connect. When I walk in a room, I'm open. I reveal myself as much as possible. I ask questions. I listen. I ask permission. I give my subjects time to evaluate and accept my presence because I know they need to trust me in order to forget about me.
