“I looked through hundreds of photographs to find just the right kinds of faces; faces that would make contact with the viewer through their gazes. I searched in particular for ones that seemed to ask, even plead, for a response, from me, from you! Perhaps this person wanted understanding, or recognition, and another was looking for love, or even reconciliation. These portraits are also intended to show a great appreciation and a deep respect for the unique qualities of cultures other than my own.” Pat Tiemeier
