I’m over on ViewFinders today with a photo essay of Americana images, This Land is Your Land.

In a year where we have been ravaged by hardships, one after the other, I am often frustrated, angry and exhausted.

I search for meaning in pictures full of hope and promise. This is my work. The discipline of hope.

As we head into election season, it seems worth it to remember why our votes matter. (Please VOTE.)

This land is made for you and me. A place of inclusion and equality.

“To refuse to participate in the shaping of our future is to give it up.
Do not be misled into passivity either by false security (they don’t mean me) or by despair (there’s nothing we can do).
Each of us must find our work and do it.”
– Audre Lorde
