She buys her first 'real" camera, and meets Blondine, as well as the other prostitutes on the Rue des Lombards, in the Beaubourg neighborhood. Two years later, Blondine sends her to Barbara, and then there's Nouja, Miranda, Ingrid and all the others who live and work in Pigalle. Little by little, photo by photo, she manages to enter their lives and the world of prostitution. She creates her first stories with images taken in the streets, the bars, and the seedy bedrooms of flop houses, bearing witness to the ordinary lives of those living on the margins of society. Without realizing it, Jane Evelyn Atwood was creating a first photo story that would be the very beginning of a remarkable and poignant body of work; work always provoked by those she meets and her desire and need to "capture human dignity".
