I met this couple during a Club field shoot at the local Boordy Winery. They called me over when they saw my camera. We did an impromptu model photo shoot that was more like street photography. This couple was about the same age I was when I met the love of my life. (So Far) Working with them took me back thirty years. There is nothing quite like young love. This image was entered in the 2021 UMMC Healing Arts Competition.

The Tribal totem for the Mashantucket Pequot people is the fox. Standing for the Mashantucket People, the fox has gone through a hard, neglected winter. Murdered, sold into slavery, given blankets from a smallpox ward in England, The Tribe was nearly shattered, and its’ people scattered from Its’ original home of Long Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, to as far as Bermuda, the deep South, Chicago, New York and California.

One elderly Grandmother kept the fire alive – located on the last 5-acre “reservation” parcel left by Connecticut, after Connecticut sold off their property granted by the US Federal Government, the Grandmother kept calling her great-nephews, grand-children, great-grand-children, and begging them to come home and rebuild the Tribe. It is the very youngest generation, brought back to the Tribal Lands, that have rescued the old fox in out of the cold winter, have rebuilt the Wetu (Built in circles out of saplings, to represent the circle of the family) and with great joy sharing the warmth of the fire, comfort each other through the last of the winter. This is a portrait of one of the lovely new generation, gathering the fox in her arms.

Little known was Marie Tepe's fascination of the giraffe weevil that she secretly imported from Madagascar to pass the time at her husbands tailor shop in Philadelphia. In the spring of 1861, Mary could not overcome the boredom and became a vivandiere with the 27th and 114th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War. Mary received the coveted Kearny Cross when she made contact with a bullet to her ankle during the Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862. Mary, known as volunteer nurse "French Mary", died in 1901 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
