Perfect Strangers: Color Blind Street Photography
Homo Sapiens: Latin for Wise Man or Knowing Man
Homo Sapiens came into being in a murky biological swamp and has been bickering and sparring for territory and supremacy ever since. The world's citizens have an opportunity to make a persuasive argument for real change in ways never thought possible by earlier generations. I am compelled to connect the global dots by smudging the ideological and visible distinctions between us and emphasizing our similarities. Through the genre of 'street photography' I hope to foster empathy and compassion by recognizing and honoring those moments when the mask slips and some quality or defect intrinsic to the human condition is made manifest by a single shutter click.
