Description
In May 2021, I had an exhibition at the Arts Society of Kingston, New York, of my seven-year project (1995-2002) photographing the portraits of our Elders who happen to reside in nursing homes. For this exhibition this project was revised, the film scanned and retitled I/We Still Count! Sometimes a life is full of golden nugget moments. Dominic had one of those lives. He loved telling me about his life in the Harlem community during the Golden Days of Jazz. He also adored the staff at the nursing home. He said, “The staff is beautiful. They feed you good and put clean clothes on you everyday. Being Gorgeous is in the heart.”
