Life Reflections shown in Adam's Portfolio

In this day of the ever
politicized Women's l.itH'ratum
movement, more and more
attention has Iwn jsiven to
women who pursue career's
other than or in addition to
hometnakmR Hail Adams, 26, a
recent graduate of the Univer
sity of Drecon is a refreshing
contrast to the militant lenumst
hut definitely pursues a career
of her own making
Without slogans and protest
marches. Hail chose an individ
ualized lite style as a free lance
photographer Photography was
initially the catalyst which
caused I'.ilil to torn) friendships
and expose her to people in
varying situations and life
styles A shy, silent but observ
ant child. Hail first used
phoiograpy as her reason to
relate to people. Later, she
discovered this basic charac
teristic actually aided her work
as she was able to make her
subjects unaware of her pres
ence and her camera by
figuratively "fading into the
wallpaper." By not imposing
her presence into the situation,
the people would relax and
function naturally, therefore
allowing Dail to capture on film
daily living experiences. This
enabled her to do photo essays
realistically as well as to see
and do things out of the
ordinary, travel and meet
interesting people from all
walks of life.
Music had been Dail's inter
est upon entering Highline
Community College in Seattle
until spring term when she
accepted the position of campus
photographer as a result of high
school experience. For the first
time, Dail was exposed to a
variety of people in a variety of
situations and gained self
confidence as a person as well
as a photographer.
"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.
Essays Study People
Her first essay was the result
of a combined project for her
Photography and Anthropology
classes as the V of 0 which dealt
with a Mexican-American
family situation The Perales, a
McMinnville farm family which
included 10 out 13 children still
living at home, received her
with immediate acceptance.
Dail felt this was partly due to
her introduction by a mutual
friend, Brother Martin of Our
Lady of Gaudalupc Trappist
Abbey, As the parents sHke no
Knglish. the Perales children
translated for Dail. She photo-

Dail expanded her family
situation theme with her next
photo essay study, the
McKinney family. Mr Me
Kinney was a Black minister of
the Christian Methodist Kspieo
pal church as well as a full time
policeman. In the four months
of photographing him, Mc

essay was published in the July

done in three parts -- the
Church, interactions among the
congregation and the minister;
McKinney's relationship with
his family; and McKinney's
role on the police force.
Dail's attention was drawn to
the Chemawa Indian School
north of Salem as the result 0f a
magazine assignment. How
ever, she learned the reporter
who would do the story had a
negative point of view from the
very offset. The assignment
became distasteful to her as her
allows an enormous financial

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.

accompanied by a study of their
folk art and colorful dress.
Philosophy of Photography
Photographs are Dail's
means of sharing her discov
eries and experiences that have
meaning to her as well as
transmitting the excitement felt
at the time of photographing.
Her desire is to show the little
people who are unimportant at
the moment and rarely make
news hut are very real people
with very real lives, The viewer
can relate to these people
regardless of race or age by
their similarities hut more
important can discover new
aspects hImmiI them. Her essays
are a "Slice of Life" from the
mid '60's and '70's depicting
normal, everyday life of this
period.
While Dail plans to continue
photographing, she is currently
pursuing another talent and
second love -- Carpentry. Her
carpentry is also done on a
free-lance basis and includes
remodeling homes and custom
building camper vans.
Future plans - photography,
carpentery and an interesting
life for Dail Adams.
