Sample pages from my latest memoir “How I Got Here” (Edition One Press, 2025). This project explores significant moments in my parent’s lives, the early years of my sister Martha and me, and my adult years when I became a social documentary photographer alongside careers in academia and libraries and motherhood.
My mother, Ada Winston
During the 1920’s my mother made her living as a dancer and singer for several Broadway productions and nightclubs. After she married my father in 1941, she encouraged my sister Martha and me to perform on stage, providing us with dancing and music lessons throughout our early childhood and teenage years.
Mima and Martha
We posed for our first head shots with a commercial photographer.
Mima, Ada and Martha perform at the Community House in Forest Hills NY, and sing “The Wreck of the Ole 97”, a favorite of my mother’s.
