Photoshoots and Interviews

This past week was filled with lots of photo sessions and interviews in the girl’s homes. Even though there are still two months before the gallery show and before I leave Boston, I already feel like I am in the final push to get this work done. I’m starting to feel very sad about leaving Boston and leaving all that I have built here. I sometimes feel angry that this fellowship isn’t in North Carolina where I could keep up with all the girls and watch their babies grow into children. I sometimes think of how nice it would be for them to be a part of my life when I make the decision to start a family and it’s hard to know that they probably won’t be. I’ve started working weekends to get this work done and also because I know I am really really going to miss them all. Here are some photos of some of the girls that I visited this past week.
