This photo series looks at Americans whose identities are mixed with that of another "nationality" or ethnicity. The composition of these images are all similarly made, with special attention being made into the development of the negatives themselves. The subjects nearly all hold a similar gaze and these portraitures raise questions about what we are supposed to conclude from a work like this. Who are these people and what exactly are their backgrounds? There is a keen eye for posing and angles in this photo series.

Not necessarily simply photography, this video tells a story of an older gentleman and his memories of his own life. He looks at his battle with lonliness after losing his love and companion. This multimedia presentation features the gentleman and photos of his life, all done in black and white. It is a difficult presentation to look at as he experiences a range of emotions as he faces the difficulties of trying to share his story with sadness. I'm not exactly sure what to make of this presentation except that it envokes a visceral emotion from its audience, and I like the multimedia presentation of it all, music, video, photo, and voiceovers.
