I have spent 6 years of my life photographing right-wing organizations for non-profit and the exploration of others unconscious minds.
Who would hate the color of black skin for the sake of personal grievances or economical difficulties? What person has not laughed or smirked humorous guilt over a racial joke or slander? Why can an individual have so much hate and rage in their heart to segregate, insult, or even kill someone unlike themselves? We have police and FBI assigned to intelligence gathering for the investigation of the mass networking and organization of right-winged groups. Even the law, with the apprehension of criminals, is not beyond vigilante reproach. I had always felt that the anger went deeper; invasion of our minds, homes, and families. Racism – A plague of the mind and soul, tormenting those afraid of change and equal rights. Racism is worldwide, affecting every nationality.
The Economy and workforce in America has launched mass political agendas for increased economical aide for less fortunate families. We are in a suffering economy and with our nation’s first black president and his future plans of healthcare and financial reform, we may not look towards such a bleak future.
We are far from utopia and we are all guilty to an extent for not acknowledging or trying to find the cause and cure for racism. I will die never knowing answers to my questions! I will know and remember racism, the violence, those of guilty conscience…and that it never goes away!
I hope that my works in this collection are seen as a positive in your mind rather than a negative…know people like this exist…teach your children the negativity and destruction that racism will cause…walk your mind through this collection as if you are being judged and condemned by the images.
