Part of a series of 3, these pictures were all taken, one after the other, from the street side of an antique shop window in the French Quarter. The store was closed, and the only available lighting was from the lamps in the display. The smears and scratches on the window added an atmosphere to the figures that was appealing to me. In the background of the toy soldiers you can spot the toy cat; in the background of the Mamie figure you can just make out the criss-cross on the tin soldier’s chest. For me, these 3 photographs are tied together just like that. Medium: Film
