An innovative partnership between Monroe County and Waste Management to provide a “one stop drop off” for residential recycling.
Plastic: Our Weakness
Plastic litter harvested along the shores of Lake Ontario at Hamlin Beach State Park.
We love plastic for its functionality, bend-ability, and durability. Every single day, everywhere around the world people come in contact with plastic. As we consume plastic daily, we discard it equally so. The earth is trimmed like a Christmas tree and lit by the colors of discarded plastic. Like bait we are hooked. Our culture of overconsumption has created a culture of waste. Plastic pollutes the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the very land we live on. Despite the many benefits plastic has to offer, the side effects are inescapable.
Plastics: Our Weakness is a photographic exploration of the plastic that is left to degrade along our roadsides, beaches, and parks.

Legacy Hands #Hospice
I receive a million times back what I give as a volunteer hospice photographer. ❤ This gentleman passed away several days after I photographed him and his bride of 60+ years. This is truly heartwork!

For Donna <3 R.I.P. #BeautifulSoul
Beautiful Soul
I have found something
within your gaze,
that more than moves me
in so many ways.
Something behind
those crystal eyes,
eyes more glorious
than the bluest skies.
I want to learn
all that I can,
not just to know
but to understand.
What caused you pain,
who gave you scars,
everything that has made you
the (wo)man that you are.
Like a child discovering
something new,
is the way that I feel
when I am with you.
This journey inside
your beautiful soul,
is taking me captive
as your story unfolds.

The Sign Project
Inspired by my friend Jon M, a homeless young man in Rochester, NY and a link he sent me one day. Rethink Homelessness, an initiative of the Central Florida Regional Commission on Homelessness, who recently asked a few homeless people to write down a fact about themselves that other people wouldn’t know just by walking past them. The Social Reportage class at Flower City Arts Center is doing just that, though not all are homeless, those being approached facilitate their basic needs by frequenting soup kitchens in the Rochester, NY area. These are some of the stories of our brothers and sisters.
