Small Town in the Big City

My good friend, Peggy Fleming has published a new book
Small Town in the Big City. It is a charming read, full of interesting historical facts about the buildings along a four block stretch of Connecticut Avenue and the people who work there. Peggy photographed and interviewed over 70 people, Joanne Zich researched and prepared the historical notes. more about it here

In Peggy's previous book In Her Place, 56 women are in their chosen places or spaces or activities, where each is comfortable, centered, nurtured. Photographs are by Peggy, each text is by the woman in the photograph.

Writing is
peace of mind; a
fresh piece of paper and a
great pen that will just
flow across the page. My ideas,
fears and hopes are all down on paper.
They wait,
for whenever I'm ready
to deal with them.
1996
