I was wandering around Cambridge bothering people and taking their photos – I went to show Scott the photographs I’m offering for the George Forss-Jon Katz photo show – and I saw two people I am close to, our bookkeeper Anne Dambrowski and Scott, having bookkeeping meeting at the cafe during a lull. I loved the intimacy of the photo, the sense of a meeting, the sense of purpose, the way the light just draws you right up to them and out the window. I am coming to love taking some time each day to look for scenes of my world, my life, and the people in it.
Anne has been our bookkeeper for five years, she has saved and protected us so many times, I can’t begin to count them, it took me several years to understand what a sweet and competent and dear human being she is, you have to let people reveal themselves. Anne is devoted fencer and gardener, and she is an artist who makes masks.
