A Kind of History

"It was clear Mark Goodman was onto something special when his earliest Millerton photographs were first published in the 1970s. He captured the faces and attitude of the people of this small upstate New York town with an arresting directness and insight that seemed in part a result of his multi-year commitment to the community and his documentary project.

As Goodman's autobiographical text suggests, these photographs become a reflection of his experiences and changing perceptions. In turn, these provocative images challenge us to consider our memories of growing up and our own experiences of home and family, love and friendship. Goodman's powerful, both beautiful and disconcerting photographs, touch us personally as they introduce us to the people of Millerton."
