Within the confined space of a parking attendant’s booth, where doors and windows act as a frame, Donigan Cumming captured the gestures and expressions of passersby on the fly, producing full-length portraits or landscape-format images. Left as negatives for forty-five years, these images eventually appeared in an unusually sized book. While the atypical nature of this limited edition publication makes it a collector’s item, Mona Hakim considers its refinement to lie in its subject, an endangered one: physical exchanges and portraits of individuals drawn directly from public space.
