I decided to support WorldPride when it came to my hometown of Washington, DC after my friend Joe (@jsirakasphotos) sent me the link. We’ve done photography together for years and are practically family, so the chance to support something I also believe is critically important was an easy yes. That’s how this journey began — but it was through working on the powerful Storytelling with Saris project that the personal reason I needed to be part of this truly hit home.
