Photographing the stories in the eyes, The personal narrative shared on 35mm film. The honor of being behind the camera, defining the spirit within, the eternal gaze. Each individual with a road traversed, carrying the stories of the past generations. We are all building compassion, it is not the catch light in the eyes, it is the soul the shines, in these fragile moments of love and turmoil. Some semblance of being, a moment most empathetic and true, is the voice that speaks and builds meaning in our days, this is the community we build as one.
