Project Statement

We pass people on the street every day without making eye contact or even acknowledging their presence. We are connected to our music, our phones, our technology, but not necessarily to the people around us. I have chosen to share a momentary, public intimacy with those passersby so that I can gaze longer at their faces and value their humanity. We need each other in this world.

This project features photographs made in Milwaukee, Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles from 2014 - 2018.

Outstanding! I was very moved by these portraits. It's wonderful to see such an honest look at the faces we pass everyday on the street. Keep up the good work!
