Photography Begins with Consciousness
Why Taking Photographs Cannot Be Separated from Choosing, Thinking, and Understanding Your Own Vision
I share photographs as part of a commitment to documentary storytelling — focusing on themes that the mass media tend to ignore for lack of a news hook, and that gain little attention on social networks. These are images from the everyday lives of ordinary people — lives that seldom reach the front pages, yet contain their own quiet drama.
