How a six-week documentary project turned into nineteen years. I will show photographs, play oral histories and share my stories about coming into unknown communities and becoming family. This presentation will explain and explore representation of often-overlooked communities, gaining access and trust, and my personal feelings and obligation to my subjects to respect them.
Too many times I believe the photographer tries to elevate themselves instead of their subjects. I am not that photographer and never want to be. I will also discuss the decisions one has to make in editing and publishing. We will have questions and answers during the image presentation.
