SYLVIA PLACHY

Artist's Statement

My father often walked ahead alone, deep in thought, his state of mind one could only guess at.

I, on the other hand, have always liked to linger and watch unseen, to take my pictures without confrontation, to look at backs and imagine what's inside.


Sylvia Plachy appeared in a CBS Sunday Morning segment on March 14, 2003. Click here to read the CBS News article about Sylvia and her son, Oscar award-winning actor Adrian Brody.
