Christina Carty-Francis

To create this project the artist stood on a particular corner asking strnagers to stop and be photographer. She asked every person who passe and what we have here is a record of the willing. 

 

"Photography is the way I remember my life and when I am gone it is the way life will remember me. People Are interesting, They change physically and mentally and they change with the times. They move in and out of each-other's spaces and eventually retire from this world all together. One of my roles as a photographer is to explore and create images of personas, aspirations and life." Christin Carty-Francis
