Railroad Bridge
The shiny rails on a cloudy day draw the eye across the bridge into Kentucky from Indiana. However, the photograph somehow becomes a symbol for me of traveling into the unknown. If It could be any bridge, anywhere. The destination of the other shore is unknown and virtually missing from [...]

Door Stoop

Just because a family lives in the bush of Ghana, Africa doesn’t mean they [...]
