“I’m interested in people. For me that’s what I think it comes down to, not only people on the street. I photograph for the love of seeing - and I still live through my eyes”~ Dorothy Bohm Dorothy, at 98 years young, is one of the unsung heroines of British photography. She arrived in England in 1939 as one of many displaced emigres. And forged a long life for her self through the medium of photography. It gave her a new, rich stimulating life. Her work is full of tenderness. She has seen a lot and lived through turbulent times but she never dwells on the ugliness of life. She is focused on the good.Courtesy of Peter Fetterman Gallery
