"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." ~ Oprah Winfrey
The subject of my third photography project, GRATEFUL is gratitude. I am inspired to create a project that explores gratitude because the more we pay attention to what is right in our worlds, the happier we are. I also hope GRATEFUL helps people connect and appreciate each other by focusing more on the good stuff in life because there is so much of it! Thank you for helping this project succeed in spreading some positivity in our larger Boise community and beyond.
I have photographed 21 diverse people (i.e., race, gender, age, sexual orientation, ability, class) for this project. I have asked subjects to think of something for which they are grateful. I have taken photographs of subjects and their gratitude. Subjects have also written about 100 words on why they are grateful. These statements are being placed with the images.
Thank you to these generous people for supporting GRATEFUL:
