Gratitude Essay
As a photographer I try to capture the simplistic parts of life that we often forget about. What made me take this series of photos was the absolute truth and spirit in people's eyes and smiles. The flaws-whether they are wrinkles, blemishes, uneven skin tones, or freckles are what make these photos. What better than smiling eyes and faces to capture the happiness people offer and create. These photos inspire the perfection of imperfection.
