CHILDREN OF FULTON STREET 1994-1998
As a feature writer for daily newspapers in northern California in the late 1980s, I was intrigued by the photographs that accompanied my stories. When I moved back east the Maine Media Workshops was one town over, and in one summer I took three week-long classes. In the class of my photographic idol, Mary Ellen Mark, my project was the children playing on Fulton Street in Rockland. Children of Fulton Street expanded to a similarly-gritty neighborhood in Belfast. Some of these kids have kids of their own now.
The series was first exhibited at the Caldbeck Gallery, a few- minute-walk from Fulton Street.
