→ Photo Info (Here) Mark Steinmetz Knoxville, TN (Girl at the Picket Fence)
1991 The girl at the fence’s expression is emotive and ambiguous in ways that could be viewed as different feelings from different people, much the same as her equivocal age. She has the potential to be heading towards numerous emotional possibilities. Her all-encompassing expression is suggestive of many emotions and that is what is so beautiful and intriguing about the photograph. Beyond the stilled emotional movement, the viewer gets a sense of the relationship that Mark has with the people in the photographs. There is an impression of trust, respect, and reverence existing in the space between the lens and the people in his photographs.
