Why I do the project... Someone once told me that the art of photography stirs your emotions.  I have found that to be true within the documentary photography realm.  That is exactly what I am doing with PTSD, The Invisible Scar.  I want the viewer to look into the eyes of our Veterans and see, even possibly feel their pain as I interview them.  Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) is a natural effect of a horrific event that our brave men and women have witnessed, been part of, or participated in.  They need our help and when I say our I mean the country as a whole.  Why, because we have just been through the longest war in US history. One full generation, there have been parents and children serving together.  I want to truly find out what a generation is, so I looked up the definition and that is 20-30 years. In 2013 I was granted work space at the monOrchid, which was a collaborative work place and photo/video studio, to pursue a project “For the Good”, the project that I started and continue to work on is called PTSD, The Invisible Scar.  The project consists of Veteran with PTS, whether they are male or female, white, black, Hispanic, regardless of their religious background.
