"'I pay respect to people's lives from another generation,' Townsend says during a phone interview with L.A. Weekly, echoing what he told the seller: 'Even though we don't know who these people are, they took the time—over 30 years—to document their lives, their travels, their family, and kept it all together. They passed away but their story is still intact. If you sell the slides separately, their story disappears forever.'"
Amy Roberts at the L.A. Weekly discusses artist Robert Townshend and his series of portraits.
