Danica and her father Anthony Barboza visited artists in the Hamptons for a feature in a special Summer edition of Newsday. As Mr. Barboza photographed the artists at work, Ms. Danica worked on the video interview via handheld camera to document both the photographer in action and the different artists as they became the subject themselves. These artists included (by order of appearance in her film documentation):

Terry Elkins, Mike Solomon, Lucy Winton, April Gornik, Fulvio Massi, Frank Wimberley
