Parallel
I selected the word parallel to photograph. In order to convey this idea I photographed pairs of people of different ages. I want my photographs to portray the similarities people share that bring them together and show the variety of relationships. I want my viewers to feel a sense of love and connection between the people in my images. Photography helps me express what I experience in life and it is a great way to view things from different perspectives.
