The Evolution of a Smile

As I continue to spend time and meet people while working on my street photography project I've had to increasingly reflect as the work unfolded. I was photographing people from all walks of life including those of us who are often overlooked and sometimes discarded by society. Many of these people have had a difficult life which may be due to substance addiction, mental illness or some other misfortune. 

With this reflection in mind I decided I wasn't going to necessarily photograph people in their environment instead I wanted to take portraits which would raise them up with a sense of dignity and pride. I wanted to make portraits they would be proud of and people would want to see. I want to show that we are all the same.

Donnie

This first portrait of Donnie which I'd taken in January is perhaps my favorite photo of 2014. As you can tell from the expression on his face he didn't know what to think when I asked if I could take his portrait. But he came around.

Every time I asked Donnie if I could take his picture his grin got bigger and bigger. Makes me smile a little bigger too! :-)

Immeasurable Beauty

There is much beauty in the world, if you are willing to look for it you will find it. 

It may be a wind-full breeze as it caresses your face. It may be in the dance of a friendly smile. It would be in the kind gesture you gift to another. However you define it, beauty is yours to appreciate.

To appreciate beauty is to experience the virtue of life!
