With
the Museum's help, I found about six people who once
lived in the tenement and who were willing to be photographed.
I photographed them in the actual rooms that they lived
in, perhaps 60 to 70 years ago. Often, some of the furniture
in the rooms dated back to that bygone time. In a few
instances, I also photographed the individuals in front
of the building. |

Obviously,
it was an emotional experience for these people. Memories
and recollections poured forth. I tried to be as respectful
and sensitive to them as possible and spent many hours
talking to them before, during and after the photo session.
Some of the subjects, who agreed to and wanted to be
part of the project but either physically or emotionally
did not want to return to the building, were photographed
in or around their homes. |
