"People" is her chosen sub ject matter as her greatest challenge comes from trying to capture the essence of the individual. A still object may be studied and re-studied for the right photograph but people are moving and changing expres sions constantly. Dail is fasci nated by the people as well as the process of recording them.

S.D. and discovered her to Ir a fascinating lady. As a result she stumbled onto another photo essay as they all agreed Aunt Lea had to be immortalized.
