Through photography, short films, and true stories told out loud, I document the stories of my clients and community. In 2014, I started my own live storytelling event The Folk & The Lore on the founding belief that “when you know your neighbor’s story, you are more connected to your community” and that “those stories will become your own lore.” I have documented stories as far away as South Sudan, but spend most of my time documenting the stories in my own backyard, the American West.
