revisiting and reconsidering

As my show comes down at the Leopold Gallery in Kansas City, I find myself here in a darkened room in Portland (it’s very late, and there aren’t any lights in this room yet, so, yes, it’s pitch black dark except for the glow of my computer screen) going through my master files of work from Uganda, 2007. I rediscovered this image. It’s one I’d worked on before, but unsuccessfully. Now I think it’s okay. So, I’m sharing. This image was made in the town of Gulu in northern Uganda.
