I saw some of these beautiful photographs in a small show a year or so ago, such amazing work. It’s definitely the kind of work you need to go see for yourself, in person.

Just wanted to say thanks for all of your kind comments about my work.

@Mr Draned: Sharrod will be starting his senior year of high school in September. He hasn’t decided if he will enter the military or go to college. When I first met him, he was dead set on going into the military. Fingers crossed that he chooses college since his dreams and desires will be better served that route but ultimately, obviously, it’s his decision. It’s been an amazing journey watching him grow up, gaining his confidence so that all these pictures to be made, and mentoring him when allowed.
