A selection of photos from the show Terrific Women, Craig Gallery, Dartmouth, NS, March 2004.

This series was shot with medium format film. Some were printed in my dark room. Some were scanned and digitally printed.The person in each photo wrote directly on the print. I asked them to answer the question: How do you feel about where you are in your life? This show differed from the previous show "invisible Women" in that the subjects were photographed on location rather than in the studio.Also I asked these women if I could photograph them in  their favorite place.The place they feel most 'at home' , centered.

Several of the subjects agreed to participate in the project but requested that their photos not be published online.
