Jane is a super talented performance artist and a trained vocal actress. She opened up her lovely (and very spacious!) home for this project two months ago. I was most impressed by her paintings (if I remember correctly- all self portraits) hung up throughout her apartment. Seriously, all I wanted to do when I left her apartment was go home and break out my own dusty set of paint and brushes.
I was also struck by this American diner menu on her refrigerator. What
everyone (I should say expats) puts on their fridges has become one of
my favorite things about this project. Most of the time it's what
reminds us of home. (Me very much included) I think it's another small
window into each person, and their experience of living abroad, and sometimes missing home.

Jane was brave enough to let me photograph her bedroom. I got some really great shots, that my computer unfortunately did not want me to keep. It's on its last leg (my computer) and I've been cramming a lot of projects on it at once. I cannot thank Jane enough for this photo shoot, and I feel terrible that my computer & my ambitious uploading lost the second (my favorite) portion of the shoot.
