'Mother Rose' is a picture of a homeless woman who suffers from
schizophrenia. The clothes worn by 'Mother Rose' are her own
and she placed the blanket on the fence to shield herself from the
110 degree Texas sun. The bird in the picture is real and appeared
unexpectedly in the image. The artist added the 'Halo'
to the subject with a darkroom technique called dodging.
