PORTRAITS OF THE FORGOTTEN:

My lastest series came to me after several vacations to Montana, exploring old ghost towns and finding much interest and beauty in the mid-1800s on into the turn of the century.  I marvelled at the people and what they did to help create the world we live in today.  Later, I began to notice at flea markets and antique stores, photographs for sale of people from that era.  No name on the photograph's, nothing to distinguish who this person was and what they might have acheived in their lifetime...just forgotten.  This inspired me to create this series; photographs of the people of the time and an interpretation of who and what they may have been and done.....as a tribute; a thank you for creating our future; and a totem to REMEMBER those before us.
