A photographer has the ability to evidence parts of ourselves that we don’t know or intentionally conceal. The parts of ourselves that don’t satisfy normalized archetypes of how we are perceived by most.

I’ll begin with the second part of the question. My parents have a lot to do with how I’ve been able to form relationships with people. My father is an Aquarius. He used to work at the United Nations. He was always somebody who made me consider what it’s like to think beyond myself. He wasn’t physically present as much early on in my life because he traveled a lot [to] different countries, doing a lot of different missions.

A lot of the language within photography is sort of pointed toward the photographer and who do they want to image. I never say no because I’m hung up on the aesthetic presence of a person. Everyone should be imaged if they wish to — if it’s consensual. Whether it’s selfies or hiring a photographer [or] asking friends to photograph them. To ask something like that is really scary. It’s a very vulnerable ask.

Moving onto my next question: I had the pleasure of being one of your sitters. And sitting in front of you and your camera was the first time I felt safe in front of the camera. Looking at the images, once they were completed, it was kind of jarring to see what I look like when I feel safe. It looked totally different from what I knew myself to be.

In the Rio Grande Valley, a canal system designed more than a century ago for agriculture still delivers water to the region's lush farmland and fast-growing towns and cities.

Texas Superintendent Apologizes After Official Calls for “Opposing” Views to HolocaustThe comment came during a training session with teachers to comply with a new state law meant to prevent schools from teaching 'critical race theory.' So not adding Mein Kampf to the curriculum? I'm not even Jewish, and I can appreciate this. There are two sides of math, two plus two makes four and - it doesn't. We need opposing views in math and at least two different math books.
