This is a short series of crops from some proof sheets that I found. This dates back to around ’89-’93. Old friends might enjoy the faces and sights. Like all these series, this is a very incomplete set of photos — just those proofs she happened to have saved (I haven’t found the original negatives, yet) and just those from that pre-digital period when Laura spent time in the darkroom. Once we moved to Santa Cruz she worked in a photo store and just did prints of everything.
Top left is Casey — probably Laura’s favorite subject. And the statue in the middle was part of Laura’s lifelong interest in religious iconography.

Sculpture at upper right is entitled “Ad Astra” (“to the stars”), and is located at the mall entrance of the Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC.
(Google ‘Ad Astra’ for other images)

Yes, Laura definitely had the “eye”. What beautiful compositions and framing. It’s nice to see actual contact sheets again; I miss them. They’re works of art in themselves.
