- In April of 1996 this small child was standing in a grocery store in a tiny native Siberian village. The photographer wrote of this image, “I like the contrast between a very mundane setting, such as a grocery store, that happens to be located in the wildest, most exotic setting I could possibly imagine. We see little children in grocery stores all the time, but they’re not clad in Arctic fox hats and reindeer skin boots. Russia was a wonderful mystery to me–symbolized in this small way, when I couldn’t tell if this was a boy or a girl, and I didn’t know how to ask. We just smiled at each other and went our separate ways. (Barbara Haddock Taylor/Baltimore Sun)

- Baltimore Sun Staff Photographer, Barbara Hadock Taylor.
Barbara’s interest in photography began as she interned as an assistant to the social worker at a nursing home in Wheeling WV, where she attended college. She found joy in photographing the residents and giving them the pictures, and ended up pursuing a graduate degree in photojournalism at Ohio University a few years later.
It’s evident by Barbara’s work that she relates to people. Her pictures demonstrate the moments of human interaction, whether they show the humor of people going about their daily lives or reflect the simple interaction between individuals sharing the dramatic moments.

Dear Barbara,
I noticed from my goddaughter, Karen Ye, that she had her picture taken by you on May 22, 2014. It is a great picture, so I was wondering if you might be able to send me a copy of that picture as well as a link to the original page in which it appeared. She was waving to one of her friends. Please send it to larryshinagawa@gmail.com. I can be reached at 607-379-0085 if you have any questions.
