The Spot Project
These photos represent a historic moment when the earth stood still.
Each person in these photos is an Artist who was willing to connect with me during those times. They guided me through an experience and showed me how they connected with their spot.
I was not looking for glamour or perfection, but a moment of authenticity. I would only take one photo and always at the end of our experience.
Shot on film with a Hasselblad 503CW.
Let these photos serve as a reminder of all the lessons and blessings we received during those times.
