My photographs are of women who belong to the Senior Citizens League of Flatbush. They meet five days a week to dance, take classes, socialize, and eat lunch at the East Midwood Jewish Center in Brooklyn, a building from the 1920’s that bespeaks an elegance of years past in fitting tribute to its proud, unique, and vibrant visitors who sit for these portraits.
I work close up and print the images larger than life, negotiating my own fear of aging and admiring the way the seniors I have met in East Midwood embrace who they are.
