“The more I watched this girl, the more confused and intrigued I became. I wasn\u2019t sure of her age\u2014she could have been 15 or she could have been 20 something. I approached her and explained my intentions and asked if it were ok if I photographed her for awhile she hung out there with her skater friends. I left Union square that night without getting any information besides her name…”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“..For two nights following that initial meeting I returned to the same spot hoping to find her or her friends hanging out. I was in luck, and this guy who is now her boyfriend called her up and handed me the cell phone so I could talk to her.

“…Wondering which of the women buzzing around was JoJo\u2019s mom, she said, \u201coh, that was my mom\u201d, about the striking woman that just popped her head in. No one asked who I was or what I was doing, my being there was nothing out of the ordinary. I did tell JoJo I wanted to introduce myself, so I did and was immediately absorbed by all the hubub and various characters that were coming and going. That was a year and a half ago.
