About Me
- PJM
- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

She's so young... but what a hard life she has ahead of her.
ReplyDeleteWonderful portrait.
ReplyDeleteThats wrong with her bones on the neck?
ReplyDeleteGood portrait, she loks nervous
She has no teeth. That is why her mouth is closed and her face is sunken
ReplyDeleteMaybe a goiter pressing around the muscle in her neck!?
ReplyDeleteMary
No teeth and a goiter problem. This poor woman had a very rough life. So young too.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of Walker Evan's photos.....one of the greatest social photographers of any time.
