Lupe, late December 2000, in her flat in New Cross Gate, London. She’s probably wondering why that last sentence had so many commas. 
I really quite love these two photos of her. They feel like stills from a film that ought to have subtitles.
I work in a windowless office. When I'm not here, I take a lot of photographs. Those two facts may or may not be related.

I live in Brooklyn, NY. I sometimes think about moving to Berlin. I used to shoot 99% of the time with film. Now that I have a Leica M9, there's a bit more digital in my life, but I don't plan on abandoning film anytime soon.
