I didnt know photography would take me to the places that it has taken me

Carrie Mae Weems

Photography can still be used to champion activism and change. I believe this, even while standing in the cool winds of postmodernism... Postmodernism looked radical, but it wasn't.

I for one will continue to work toward this end.
