Groups

Photographing a single person is difficult enough, photographing a group can be damn near impossible.

This group of women waiting at the health clinic in Larreynaga Nicaragua was a pure gift. (Especially so since this image was shot using a 4x5.) Not only did the composition form itself without any intervention from me, each woman is totally absorbed either in her own thoughts or on her baby. Every woman with the baby could be its own image, yet taken together, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Some days, ya just get lucky...
