America
Apart from clues of modernity revealed by subject dress and personal effects, it's difficult to discern whether this is a scene of today or a hundred years ago.
The current political issues regarding immigration that have brought America into the global spotlight make the image quite timely.
Although the tone of the image is soft and warm, the travelers backs are turned to Lady Liberty, leaving the tenor open to interpretation.
Madara-Campbell's photojournalistic "follow the action" style enables her to capture images and stories in her art. That special ability comes from her roots in television news. Decades ago, Madara-Campbell began a journalism career with a camera over her shoulder. Although she left the news business many years ago, she never put down the camera.
When it's time for post-production decisions and editing, Madara-Campbell's art training kicks in. The result can range from organic to composition fantasy, depending upon what the image demands.
