Two children hugging and smiling into the camera, in the center background we see a mom kissing a child in a stroller, and to the left we see two little children kissing and embracing arms.

Three children, one holding a cat, on hanging upside down on a handrail, while one looks back at the camera straight faced.

When We
Were Girls

Jo Ann Walters 'Wood River Blue Pool'

This collection by Jo Ann Walters and Emma Kempe captures the essence and intimate experience of being girls; the built in pain in contrast to women's vanity. This two part photography and written dialogue series touches on the stories of these subjects while Kempe dives into the racist history of Walters home town. These photograph's remind me of my childhood, maybe it's the blonde bangs and bob I once wore, or the tutu and tears, but the experience of young girls growing into the mold of women hood makes me both nostalgic and heavy hearted.
