People around the world
Throughout my travels, I have met people who have stayed with me long after I left. Some I met through long conversations around a kitchen table, others through a smile, a shared moment, or the sound of children playing in the narrow streets of a slum. I have been invited into people's homes and, sometimes, into parts of their lives they don't often share with strangers. There have been stories, laughter, sadness, and moments when we didn't need to understand each other's language to understand one another. These photographs are my way of holding on to some of those encounters. Little glimpses of lives different from my own, and reminders of how much we can share, even when our worlds seem far apart. I carry these people and moments with me. Some encounters last only a few hours, but somehow stay for a lifetime.
