I got the nerve to dream of making some good pictures
in my lifetime after I learned about Eugène Atget and Julia
Margaret Cameron.
Atget launched his work on the streets of Paris
when he was 40 and Cameron began her famous photographs of friends
when she was 53.
I started taking pictures when I was 38. My first
portrait project was at First Mondays, a market in Scottsboro,
Alabama, and it began with battered dolls.
When I could move close to the dolls I began doing
the same thing with people.
