“I have a white background. I have the person I’m interested in and the thing that happens between us.” -Richard Avedon
Vulnerability is hidden though bravery. When civic servicemen wear uniforms, an additional layer of strength and honor is placed upon them, yet this civic facade prevents honest connection between them whom they are serving. Through conversation, I am able to gain my subjects’ trust. I find the moment where the facade starts to break down and their real selves begin to seep through the cracks.

Knoxville has many beautiful areas to take portraits. However, one of my favorite places is the University of Tennessee Gardens. With a variety of greenery and scenery, I have been able to capture many wonderful photos of my subjects at The Gardens.

There is a major difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is the simple act of being able to notice and process sound while listening takes more effort. When you listen, you really pay attention and try to understand what is being heard. Even though deaf people may not be able hear what is happening around them, they still have the great ability to LISTEN.
This book focuses on the stories and experiences of four different deaf people and aims to get hearing people to stop and try and listen.
