About this project
I am good at photography and bad at relationships. There must be some way to use one to improve the other.
AND THERE IS.
I want to talk to people, many people, you people, I want to talk to you, REAL TALK, about your relationships, I want to capture those relationships with my camera. I want to do this all over the country.
I want...I NEED to figure out how relationships work. How people make them work.
At the end will be pictures and words and they will get into a healthy, mutually beneficial relationship I call a book.
And this book will help others and those others will help others and it'll go on forever until there are no single people left!!!

So what I'm gonna do is visit 12 cities across the country, interviewing as many couples as I can within 30 days. I'm gonna ask 'em lots of questions, gonna take lots of pictures, we'll hang out, I'll watch 'em, document them, hopefully to one day BECOME THEM.
IT'S GONNA BE A BLAST, I'VE NEVER BEEN AWAY FROM HOME FOR THIS LONG.
AND THERE WILL BE THE BOOK. THE BOOK TO TEACH US ALL. ONE BOOK TO GUIDE US. ONE BOOK TO HEAL US. ONE BOOK WITH MANY GORGEOUS PICTURES. AND GLORIOUS WORDS TO FIX WHAT AILS US.
The book (my third) will be a glorious hardcover tome, 80 FULL COLOR pages of interviews and photos that'll change the way you look at the person next to you.

I'm hoping to meet lots of new and interesting people, have adventures, and, most importantly, share those adventures with all of you.
In the end, hopefully I'll be better at being with somebody else, and hopefully the book will help other folks be better at being with somebody else.
