I spent all day with Clarence White, 66, in his apartment in the Paquin Towers as a part of a workshop with Danny Wilcox Frazier. What an amazing, heartbreaking day. Clarence waited all day for his girlfriend to show up, so he and I spent hours watching TV and talking and then sometimes just sitting in silence. She never showed. He never left the apartment.
I loved Frazier's advice to me midday when I came back from the first hours of sitting: to shoot darker, if it felt right. Now, exhausted and a little sad, I look forward to making it back to Clarence (most people call him Dan) to see if there isn't some facet of his life that brings him some joy. The above are images taken in a day, inside his apartment.
I'll post links soon to other people's work as a part of this workshop.

Have you read/seen Beckett's Waiting For Godot? It's a play about people waiting for someone who never comes' arrival - a play about nothing happening and its brilliant.
You have that here, this is so much without having any plot to work with. I totally feel this guy. Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding.
The textures and quality of light are so amazing here.
These are all great Amanda.
The profile of him smoking is gorgeous. Nice work overall too.
