Larry Towell "I hadn’t seen Peter’s family since the road trip I’d made with him, his wife and eight children the year before. In November 1994, after earning $2000 for a season’s labor, he loaded everyone, mys
(...) elf included, into an old Ford pick-up truck and a rusted-out van. We then crossed the continent to Tamaulipas, Mexico, where Peter burst into a house he claimed he had bought.
It was early the following summer when I took this picture. I found them back in Ontario at the same run-down farmhouse, for which they paid no rent because the house was unlivable. Peter always knew how to ‘get by’. They were playing hide-and-seek. Peter was pretending not to see Susie whose location Benjamin had given away."
