About the Book
The series Picking Up the Pieces: saturday-sunday depicts friends, strangers, and objects that express a strong personal presence. I started making these photos at a particular transitioning point in my life, a time where there were more questions than answers. I began this journey at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ. Though I am not much of a churchgoer, a friend invited me to a Sunday service and I decided to attend and take my camera along. It was a pleasant experience, but the best part was watching all the attendees leaving in high spirits, smiles and looking quite dapper. It was the moment I realized all these people have hardships and troubles, yet there is at least one day of the week they decide to come out, praise, be grateful, and look GREAT doing it! Maybe they are praying for health, for love, for peace, for a friend, a family member, or just repenting their sins from the Saturday night before. Whatever it is, they were present. Something about connecting with others kept me going. The idea of hope, the idea of being present, the idea of being seen, the idea of questions that will remain unanswered but heard.
