 “Dignity, Hope & Love—People of The Church”
 
This collection of photographs was taken in honor of Black History Month 2023. Throughout our history, the Church has been an important cornerstone for African-American communities all over the country.  This remains true here on the Monterey
Peninsula, with its large number of predominantly African-American churches. The title for the exhibit, “Dignity, Hope & Love—People of The Church” expresses the character, depth and quality of the people I met while making these images. I would like to thank the leadership and members of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, Seaside, Ocean View Baptist Church, Seaside, and the First Baptist Church of Pacific Grove for their generous hospitality. The Church was an important part of my upbringing, and the lessons derived from my church experiences will always be with me. I am honored and humbled to have connected with the warm and wonderful individuals in these photographs.
