Mary Travers

Mary Travers




Mary Travers, the flaxen blonde singer of the 1960s trio, "Peter, Paul and Mary," died last night at Danbury Hospital. I photographed her in 2005 well after she had been diagnosed with cancer and was in remission. I remember feeling concerned about capturing the spirit of someone who most remember as a beauty, but who now was somewhat ravaged by disease. I found these photos last night, and in retrospect I think they show her inner strength and beauty.
