Over coffee this morning a friend of mine was telling me about his uncle and his work as a photographer. He creates exhibitions that deal with issues like mental illness, hunger and teenage pregnancy. He takes portraits of people with a camera that he built himself and accompanies them with audio stories of the individuals. I looked it up as soon as I got home and his work is truly beautiful. I urge you to check it out. The audio provided on the website are only snippets but it's enough to be completely moved. As a filmmaker I love being confronted with various characters and I feel that his work gives you a taste of the sorts of ideas that brew in the minds of others.
