This work was born out a series of events that left me awake at night. So began to bring my camera with me as I walked the streets. Beyond my own personal dilemmas, I became consumed with the self-immolation of Malachi Ritscher. Though I never knew him personally, his action pushed me to define the meaning of my own actions. I'm hesitant to make him more then he was, but it is important that we do not forget him.
