      About the Book

      Edit

      From the forward:

      This election came at a terrible time in our country. Years from now, we will look back and remember that 2020 was a year of a global pandemic, killing hundreds of thousands of people. We will not forget the damage done to our economies across the world by the essential limitations we placed on ourselves, and our leaders placed upon us, to reduce the spread of that virus. We will remember the heartbreaking struggle for equality in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd and the unjust killings of many other black men and women. On the backs of these three tragic realities grew the extraordinary divisions laid bare by this election.

      I began this photo project for three reasons. My only regret is that I started it unforgivably late. First, I wanted to take action locally, but I did not know how. Thankfully, my friend Jacob invited Moira and me to a small gathering with our Governor and suggested bringing my camera. After a few moments of taking pictures of the gathered volunteers, I realized the answer was obvious. I would use my camera to elevate, as best I could, the local campaigns I support. Second, I wanted to leave evidence for my son that I was on what I believe will be viewed as the right side of history. Third, I tried to cope with my anxiety, depression, and anger in a way that would result in art, as I have always done.
