.- In Billable Hours: in 6-minute increments (Daylight Books, Summer 2021), visual artist Robin L. Dahlberg uses staged photographs shot in documentary style to humorously reflect back on her first job as a junior lawyer at a large New York corporate law office. Her artfully crafted tableaux examine how women lawyers respond to the pressure to conform in a predominantly male culture rife with sexual innuendos (or worse), tedious work assignments, and stress levels off the charts. Dahlberg remained at her first job long enough to pay off her student loans and then left to become a civil rights lawyer. Fortunately, she is able to look back on the job with a sense of humor - but one that only came with the passage of time.
