Made between 1978 and 1986, the 56 photographs presented in \u003cem\u003eEasy Days\u003c\/em\u003e capture the prosaic moments of ordinary people, always with respect and often with humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eSohier finds her subjects in the open spaces of parking lots, front yards and public streets, and in the quieter confines of modest homes, back yards and porches. She depicts “the boredom of hot summer days” with a precise attention to the surroundings, with cold drinks, propane grills, sprinklers and pets each providing small comforts and revealing the quiet tempo of the days. Sohier’s observation that “images…gain a historical perspective over time that adds to their interest,” is proven true in this collection of black and white images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eSage Sohier’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the International Center for Photography, New York; and the Art Institute of Chicago, among many other venues.
