"Mood of America" A nation divided. A country in the midst of a rupture that stands to strain the very fabric of our society. That's what pollsters and pundits said America had become in the weeks leading up to the 2004 election. During the election season the photographer traveled to both urban and rural communities using a $15.00 Holga camera to capture a portrait of a diverse and evolving nation. Maria Flores, from left, with her grandchildren, Ashley Greene, 8, and Lexus Greene, 10, watch the Puerto Rican Parade next to Francis Desmond, 83, in Philadelphia, PA. Desmond, a Navy WWII Veteran, is going to vote for Kerry. "I have to. I cannot see what Bush is doing to our boys, having them killed over there... If it was a real war I could see them getting killed, but this way, no. Positively no."
