I wish you all the best with your showing (now passed, I guess), Gina. I love what you’ve posted online.  although this post is a continuation of this one, it just happened to turn out a little…lighter. no doubt the fresh smell of spring and warm sunshine had something to do with it. this afternoon was spent with my friend steve walking and talking and visiting with people we knew and people we just met.

Wow. You’ve captured your subjects with such eloquence. I keep going back and looking again. Very powerful. This is a beautiful project you are doing. There are hidden stories all around us, aren’t there – and people who just want to be seen, recognized, acknowledged. I’m adding a link to my blog so I can visit again and see who else you find in your travels. (a fellow unraveller) |

Renee - I love, love, love street portraits like these. I think this might be my favorite thing you’ve ever posted—it leaves me wanting to know more about him!! The one up top reminds me of a TTV shot.
Melissa - Gina – these are gorgeous. the photos make me feel like I’ve met this man too.
Anne - gina, this is a lovely set! i can almost hear his voice through the photos 🙂
Carolyn Evans - PERFECT! LOVE these!!! Have you met Voss on Liberty Street? I’d love to join you one day when you shoot for this project.
