It's no secret that I love Kansas City. After being away all summer, one of the first things I did when I got home was wander around like I always do and try to find places I'd never been.
I spent most of my summer traveling as a photographer with the non-profit organization, Champions Special Ministries. The purpose of the ministry this summer was to travel to Durango, Tulsa, Arlington, and Kansas City to set up and run day camps for special needs kids. The experience was wonderful and I'm so thankful to have spent my time taking pictures of the best kinds of people.
I could spend every night downtown in Kansas City; every time I’m there I always I find something new that I’ve never seen before. I can almost see all of downtown driving on the bridge back home from my sisters over the Missouri River. The city looks small perched among the railroad tracks and worn down warehouses. The streets are never too busy on a normal night; it’s scattered and scarce and feels like the city’s all mine.
