note:
In the January 1 series, Philadelphia-based photographer Andrea Modica used a large format camera to present costumed Mummers, participants in a traditional New Year's Day parade which carries a complex history of both inclusion and exclusion: "I am drawn to subjects that are, on the one hand, very appealing, and on the other hand, confusing … if not off-putting," says Modica. "By photographing, I have always been able to find a common ground."
