Photographic Encounter

Invitation Inside — Family

I first encountered her outside her home. Then I was invited inside.

A woman and young girl standing outside a yellow doorway.

There I met her sister, brother-in-law and nephew. The photographs move from a quiet portrait with the child to a wider family picture.

In the mirror behind them, my own face appears. I have left that small reflection in the frame: it is part of the record of being welcomed into the room.
