There is so much sorrow in this post-election air that I want to catch it, freeze it this time, and share it with others. Now, once a week, I take my camera to Powell Street and I stop people at random. I want to know how they're feeling, in just one word, as I try to capture it on film. As I wait between shots, often they exhale deeply and then give a look that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Click.
I'm surprised by the range of emotions—despair, hope, disappointment, loneliness. And I am struck by the hope and the resilience of the human race. —Brooke Auchincloss, brookelife.com
