“These pictures describe a long-ago time, and yet in looking at them I become once again the young photographer who took them on a hot summer day, sweat and dust pungent on the breeze; in the distance, I can hear the laughter of children who are now middle-aged.” — Sage Sohier

Sohier finds her subjects in the open spaces of parking lots, front yards and public streets, and in the quieter confines of modest homes, back yards and porches. She depicts “the boredom of hot summer days” with a precise attention to the surroundings, with cold drinks, propane grills, sprinklers and pets each providing small comforts and revealing the quiet tempo of the days. Sohier’s observation that “images…gain a historical perspective over time that adds to their interest,” is proven true in this collection of black and white images.
