Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Photographer's caption reads, "Heidi was raised by once idealistic hippy parents who declined gracefully and now own a garage door business in Vermont. On the first anniversary of the war in Iraq, a protest drum circle formed in front of a Hollywood T-shirt shop. Heidi danced so wantonly for so long that she finally went across the street to replenish her energy with a sugar-drizzled Cinnabon. I found my camera clicking in time to the rhythm. The affair seemed quaintly counterculture until I noticed a strict division of labor: every drummer was male, every dancer was female."
