The winter season is typically one during which I find my photographic life quieting down. Of course I still find beauty to capture, but I often choose to remain in the comfort of my home rather than venture into the cold. This change in how I spend my time results in more opportunity to reflect on my goals for the coming year. This year will be very different than years previous. Music and the festival scene have long been a part of my summer, but I expect to spend much less time engaging with those activities this year. Instead, I will be focusing my time and attention on the people of South Dakota. My experiences at Standing Rock left me permanently changed, and I have been finding increasing opportunities to engage more in humanitarian work. I will be redirecting much of my attention to working with the people of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. I don't yet know exactly what this journey will look like, but I am in the process of developing my road map.
