Dick Sanders : Faces On the Street

"All of these portraits were made in the downtown sections of Los Angeles and San Diego between 2006 and 2008. My method is to set up on a busy sidewalk and then ask passersby if they will stand for a portrait. Very few agree to participate. Those who do usually allow me just a minute or two. And there's the challenge. What can I draw out? What will they reveal? Always I am looking for emotional complexity and the suggestion of time beyond this one moment."
