This is my sister Rudi. She and I are close so I chose to write my artist statement about her photos. I wanted the shots to look thoughtful, a girl wandering around in the rain after dusk. In the first picture, I used the light from my porch light and positioned her so that half of her face was illuminated. She's looking down, deep in thought, holding her hand up close to her face. In the second photo, I got her looking into the camera, but she looks dazed and unaffected by anything around her. Small raindrops are clinging to her jacket and hair, yet she doesn't seem aware.
