Description
"In his effort to document the overlap of past and present in a rural community undergoing transition, Neil Rappaport was influenced and inspired by the historic images made by Nellie Bushee (1862-1947) and Ella Clark (1893-1980). Nellie concentrated her portrait-making in private settings; Ella had a photojournalist's eye, documenting the local scene. Not only did Neil Rappaport use their work for study and reference, but also, he photographed several older townspeople who appear as children in these earlier portraits." (Meg Ostrum, text for exhibition "In Place: The Photographs of Neil Rappaport)
