That\u2019s all I knew for the longest time. Housing developments, strip malls, backyards and Jewish summer camp. It was comforting, one of those good childhoods and I loved it. As I got older I caught the notion of other things, other places I wanted to see. I fled straight for the city, and then kept going till I managed to get as far away I could. At some point I started taking photos. Photos of shopping carts and old ladies in headscarves, people wandering around strip malls. It didn\u2019t matter what city I was in, I\u2019d find them, these people that seemed so familiar to me. I\u2019d get so close to them with my camera they would be forced to talk to me. They\u2019d ask me why and I would tell them that I thought they were beautiful." \n\xa0\nResources:\n\xa0\nMichelle Groskopf\n\n\xa0\nShawn Theodore \n\n\xa0\nGuy Bolongaro\n\n\xa0\nDownload the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.\n\nClick here to download for .\nClick here to download \nClick here to download for \n\n\nSupport the work we do at The Candid Frame with your donations via PayPal.
