We visited Freedom, a semi-ghost town, in the middle of a snow squall. While our group of photographers was shooting there, a local driving a red pick up truck stopped at its only functioning building to pick up her mail. She had two of her dogs with her, and graciously endured an environmental portrait session in the snow. I made many images of her smiling at the camera as the snowflakes swirled about her. But the portrait that said the most turned out to be this one – the moment she takes her eyes away from the camera and looks instead at the dogs she cherishes. The dogs are not looking at the camera either.
