Transcription
Sometime around 1975, I asked Sandra if I could photograph her in her home, wearing some of the vintage clothes she wore at the time. She worked at Nebraska Bookstore, and each day came to work in style - her clothes and hair beautifully put together ... soulful and memorable. - Photos by Karen
