The Park

The Park is a series of large format photographs taken of strangers in Seattle's Cal Anderson Park. Wiith each portrait I asked my subjects to write a statement about their lives. Next, using the images only, my collaborator, critic/filmmaker Charles Mudede, wrote a series of invented statements to accompany each photograph. The resulting images and texts have been made into a short film with an original score written by Sean Ono Lennon and Tendai Maraire. The film is on view at Seattle's Hedreen Gallery through May 9th.

I never grew up with a lot if money all the shoes the clothes the hats the only thing I had was respect for others and the motivation to make a better life for me and my family and will work everyday intell that is done!!!
