When your a kid you have that moment where you say, "I can never see myself in high school". This is quickly followed by the, "I can never see myself in college" statement. The truth is we never see ourselves growing up but thats what we do, we grow up. I have known Vicky since middle school and its crazy to think how long ago that really was. Both of us have grown up, gone to school and started our careers. But we have remained friends and its was a lot of fun catching. Thanks again girl!
Stress, Anxiety, Depression
We are currently in a world that puts a stigma on mental illness. Simply using the term mental illness leads us to images of Jack Nicholas in "one flew over the cuckoo's nest". But the reality is that mental illness is a far more common condition and does not make those it effects weak, crazy, or broken. The point of this project was to create images that capture what its like to deal with Anxiety, Stress, and Depression. Giving a window for the unfamiliar to understand what its like to deal with these common conditions. It is my hope that these images can lead to a real conversation on mental illness and the stigma it brings on those it affects.
Laura Street Trio - Marble Bank Building - Siobhan
For years now me and Tori have been wanting to get into the Marble Bank building. This historic building located in downtown Jacksonville has sat abandoned for years now. But at one time this was a beautiful bank servicing people from all across the city. Now the owners are preparing to brake ground and restore the historic building! After some work we finally got into the building and loved every minute of it. The building is amazing it has so much history and naturally Siobhan was amazing to work with. We were so happy with how the shot went and so glad we braved the dark and took pictures by the amazing safe.
