Around America    Worldly Travels    Project Polaroid    Altered Renditions    The Auto Zone

    Project Polaroid * is one of my favorite projects of all time.  I plan on continuing the project not only in the North of Vietnam and further journeys to Southeast Asia and China, but I desire to extend the project  to include Central and South America and other areas of the globe as well.  The memories of the locals' faces as they watched their images appear on the Polaroids will be with me always. The sheer amazement and joy. Each recipient acted as if they had received the greatest gift and most showed off their new treasure to any friend within sight. This sometimes offered more subjects for me to happily photograph. I am immensely happy that I was able to bring a moment of joy to a stranger's life and that they may share their photos with friends and loved ones. I took approximately 150 Polaroid photographs and handed them out to local village people while in the South of Vietnam and Thailand. Some families I ensured received enough to share with each family member. Please enjoy below some of the many faces I was privileged to photograph.
