clarity

i met this man on assignment. he's former homeless who now owns his own recording studio. we had a very intense time together speaking of life and god, and i wanted desperately to make an image that was reflective of his passion for music. i had brought lights to make the image, but later put them down, and just asked him to go to the space where he felt safe.

this image is from that time.

what an amazing moment, such intensity - a reminder, a clarity, of the power of the pageantry of the forgotten and overlooked
