These 15 small, color photographic portraits, hung to suggest missing images, all beg a little explanation; observe the quizzical, hostile or far away expressions, a bleeding gash, an eye bandage. Each is a study in intimacy in its own way. Most subjects confront the camera and collaborate in their characterization. The rest evidence comfort with the photographer. The compositions are determined and complex. The masterpiece of the show is a picture of a blond boy (Hugo) wearing a striped shirt, sitting in Viking-inspired arm chair, sipping orange juice, lit by a late afternoon light shaped by a window shade.
