The Photographs

Ongoing global unrest has caused extreme uncertainty, economic hardship and a difficult emotional time for all. We continue to confront a perplexing, irrational and extremely precarious world situation.

Reluctance to accept diverse cultural, political and religious influences both here and abroad adds to the apprehension, cynicism and confusion.

Becoming sensitive to unfamiliar cultures can quell much of this anxiety and may encourage tolerance and compassion.

The act of picture making adds immeasurably to my understanding of the world. And the final photographs, although worlds apart, provide a reaffirmation of the oneness of the human spirit.
