Echos of Change

Growing up through the 1960’s, I protested, I marched, against the Vietnam war, for women’s rights and Planned Parenthood.

Today in New York City, collective voices fill the streets with emotion, ideals, and demands. "Echoes of Change" is a visual journey capturing the rawness of the demonstrations that have swept through the city. This body of work seeks to capture the social consciousness and the persistent quest for freedom that defines our time.

Venturing into these demonstrations, I aim to encapsulate the energy, unity, and diversity of the participants. My photos offer an intimate look at the faces that drive these movements. I strive to not just document the moment, but the power of collective action and the historical momentum.

Each photograph in "Echoes of Change" tells a visual story of individuals refusing to be silenced, impassioned speeches, vibrant signs, banners, chants and cheers, introspective moments and tears, through the interplay of light and shadow, color and composition.

I offer "Echoes of Change" as a testament to the power of unity, the strength of conviction, and the enduring human spirit. These images stand as a reminder that the streets hold the stories of a city, and the city holds the stories of humanity. It is my hope that this collection adds to the cannon of photography that immortalize demonstrations of the past, to inspire a continued dialogue for positive change.

I am not alone. I can resist. I can speak out. I will not be silenced.
