Everyday Storytellers
A few months ago, we were inspired by a quote we saw on a great documenting website. "Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed.
I was here... I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad.
I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that is why I made works of art."
- Felix Gonzalez-Torres
This quote captures what inspired us about these Everyday Storytellers. Their writing and photography beautifully captures the ordinary. It documents the challenges along with the celebrations.

This is where we hope to challenge and inspire you to document the beauty of life well lived. Enjoy!

Through our art we give of ourselves; word by word, image by image. We lay these pieces down like cobblestones that later become the path we walk.
Camera. Shy. Momma.
