Today I saw a body of pictures that my brain interpreted as revolutionary.
Strangers framed intimately and over time, posing as the photographer's muse until the strangers become familiars, and as familiars become united in expressions of the elemental order of man; creating a body of work that I read as an atlas of the human heart.
Richard Renaldi, the vastly skilled portrait photographer, brings his full intelligence to show us Americans unified in humanism before the backdrop of a vastly confusing time. "Touching Strangers" is a body of work that exemplifies the power of human connectivity over the economic engines that drive our nation's priorities.
