Taken in downtown Newburgh, New York, a crumbling city of beautiful Victorian houses and a population of ninety percent African Americans, the majority of whom have no work. I asked: "May I take your picture?" "Of course you may," she replied, "The camera loves me."

A friend of Caroline's at work saw this picture on the wall of her office and fell in love with her. He now has a copy on his wall.
