Questionnaire Share
Many of you filled out anonymous questionnaires and sent them back to me with your cameras. The effort you put in and the honesty you gave, is something I am grateful for.
Like in your photographs, I can't help but notice the shared emotions and perspectives in your writing. As diverse as your backgrounds, personalities and locations might be, you share common life experiences. As a result I'm going to start posting questionnaires from time to time - a random selection. Double click on them to make them large enough to read.
Enjoy! -Kate
