Sheryl Ann Miller From Ohio 1996 Miami (negative scan replaces flatbed scan of print)

Negative Scan Replaces Flatbed Scan of Print

Sheryl Ann has come the lowest of any homeless I have ever seen

And she have a got a more lower perspective by this image of yours.

Is the perspective a plus or minus?

Poor people (in my own personal opinion) should be shot in the photographer's level ,here I would prefer you have sit on your legs and do the shot ,but I just do not know if there is enough room behind you or not .

I understand what you are saying.

This photo was taken17 years ago. If I tried to sit now I would not be able to get up :-)

Yes Meir ,Time got its own rules,forces,sometimes we got to obey ,I know about time rules more than you could imagine.

You will notice from the angle that I am on one knee. 

I prefer and seldom tell a story about a photo. Leave it to "you" to draw your own story. But there is a story.

I felt so bad for her. I gave her my phone number for help if she wanted. I had in mind just bringing her home; let her take a shower; clean up. Maybe there was a way to get her out of this mess? A couple of days later she called and left a message on my phone. "Sheryl". That is all the message said. Had I answered the phone  I might have done a good thing. Maybe sent her back to her parents.  Made a difference in someone's life.

Reading this ,and viewing your images about a street women ,make me rethink and rethink about the life of the western countries.

does you contact her or hear from her again ?

looked for her. Did not find her. rethink in what way?

then you have done what you meant to do.

I thought it was only a heaven ,but it seems to be there is a hidden hell ,and it is a big one ,but we usually do know about that much ,media present us only with the bright side I guess.

America is a land of opportunity, but it is up to the individual. This "hidden hell" as you call it is by choice. Sheryl made bad choices. Maybe she wanted to party, have a good time, use drugs, get into the wrong groups and here is how it ended up. Why she came out this low I do not know.

Very interest document, your " some people of America" it's full of interestig portraits of common people, great document!

Thank you for commenting

Really well done, Meir! Great pose, expression and wonderful tonal diapason!

 

Best regards
