Jolly donuts

Photography allows me to explore community. My family's donut shop, the houses along my commute, and the people in my life populate the photographs I make. Working at my family's donut shop for more than a decade, I have met and come to know a lot of people: regular customers who come everyday, weekend people and those who wait by the door at four in the morning. Over the years, these people have become part of my daily routine, the destination after my commute to work. The thirty-minute drive from home to work has provided an abundance of opportunities for observation and appreciation of my community. I have lived in the San Fernando Valley since my family settled in the United States. The individual houses I drive and walk by in my neighborhood interest me; they are single-family dwellings that have acquired characteristics of the families that maintain and occupy them. Older houses painted in bright colors and surrounded by idiosyncratic details suggest each owner's distinct identity. They comprise the series, Valley Mansions (figure 1). Although they are not luxurious, oversized homes, I call them "mansions" of the community, because they embody individual commitment, hard work, and pride of ownership. Families just like mine own them, and we are living the "American Dream."
