By Amy Chase (not Maxwell below)
Kaufman's portraits are really powerful- seemingly innocuous moments that hit harder the longer one sees them- the viewer develops a sense that a secret is being whispered from the past.
AK!
I love them. I wish i could come to your tart thing.
You are one hot grandma!
