“The 46 photographs in this book are culled from over 300 individual portraits of
complete strangers in New York City. They were made by photographing on one day
a year, Ash Wednesday, over a span of two decades. The subjects are people whom
I will likely never see again. I thank those who trusted me enough to pause for a few
minutes in a busy‑and possibly contemplative‑day, long enough to be photographed.”
