'Beacons of hope'

"Lori X, Lancaster, California,'' by B.J. & Richeille Formento, in the "Circumstance: American Beauty on Bruised Knees'' show at the Robert Klein Gallery at Ars Libri, in Boston.

Mr. Formento is the photographer and Ms. Formento, his wife, is the stylist in this show, meant to show the changing face of the American Dream through pictures of "women who became beacons of hope against the dark and slated backdrops of their lives.''
