We are you
Dani
Born and raised in rural NJ, right on the edge of PA, it was unheard of to be gay in my town. I was always the black sheep in the clan of my friends when it came to talking about boys and ultimately when it came to dating them. I waited till the tail end of my senior year of high school to finally date a guy just to keep everyone from questioning what was really going on inside my head.
When I think of my future I don’t consider myself any different or think my needs or wants are any less then that of a straight woman. I hope for happiness, health, a warm home, a beautiful family and a loving spouse to come home to, even if that spouse happens to be a woman.
Two years ago i moved to NYc to attend parsons the new school for design as a photography major. i have since felt like i finally have found a place in which i can be myself without worry of what other's might think. though upon discovering the openness of new york i've come to feel spoiled that i have outlets around every corner to be myself when people my own age and younger are still struggling to find themselves in their own homes and towns.
I think self evident truths is a beautiful way of showing the world that we are no different than the next person, we are still human. Looking at the faces documented already, I can identify some i even know and some faces i've seen but had no idea. that's what i find most beautiful about this project. i'm just as surprised as the next person. the cycle goes on and on. keep up the great work!
