Nancy's work overflows with genuine humaneness and integrity. Whether in Asia or the US, she is obviously driven by curiosity, love of human variety, humanitarian concern, and compassion. There's nothing flash, no maudlin plucking at heart strings; the consistently understated, matter of fact, point of view strengthens her images as top-shelf documentary work. Nancy dignifies her subjects (because she doesn't reduce them to being only "victims" or stereotypes) and her viewers (because she trusts us to see life and its difficult realities without over-dramatizing them). Her images are not just interesting, but important -- as human documents and as photographic expressions of her curiosity and commitments.
