Child in Klan Robes

Of the children Karen has encountered while photographing the Klan, and what they might think or feel about their place in the group's legacy, he says: "I don't feel it's appropriate for me to get into discussions with someone's child. One aspect of my interaction is that I never ask names, or interview people. My information comes naturally from routine conversations. I think pulling out a pen and paper changes the relationship between photographer and subject -- especially in this case."
