People often assume from this project that I come from a broken home. In truth my parents are happily married in NC. I chose to do this piece not only for its growing existance in our society, but also for its prevalence in my extended family. Most of my aunts and uncles are divorced - some on their second and even third marriages. Everyone knows someone who has been touched by divoce and while I was blessed with parents who still love one another, I have felt the effects of divorce through the estranged marriage and rough split of my grandparents. To this day, my grandfather is nonexistant in my life. We all understand the emotions of divorce.
And so I chose to document this creeping, silent disease that is spreading across America; to put a face to the numbers and statistics; to bring those hidden emotions to life so maybe someone can know that they are not alone in their struggles.
Today I am a freelance photojournalist in San Francisco and while I am far away from family on the east coast, I speak with them often and love them through my work.
