Richard Doddridge Blackmore referred to women as "the mothers of all mischief." As an adolescent, I would have agreed. I thought women were a different species and probably carnivorous. Fast forward. I have been married for fifty-two years. I find women to be less of a puzzlement. I also find them to be great photographic subjects. They show their feelings in a way men do not. Even in repose, there is a sense of underlying emotion. I'm a street photographer. I rarely mingle with people I photograph. But when I ask a woman to pose, they seem to be more truthful about who they are.
