Finding Humanity for 75 Years

Brooklyn Bridge Park – Emily Warren Roebling Plaza
 archive : 2016
In a time of heightened tensions in society, we are focusing our lens on individuals interacting in a humane manner toward one another, or toward the viewer, as a way to counteract negative news stories.
