Throughout the course of
the 10 year PHOTOhype project,

I managed to capture an entire
lifetime of images from my
strange brew of international friends.

They came here from far away
lands that I have never seen before.  They
danced & they smiled.  All & all, the nights
we shared were extremely wild!

They once said unto me: "The Journey in
Life is like reading a book.  Those who never
leave home, never get off the first page."

In a moment of my life that has now come to pass,
I accept the fact that the best of times will never last.
In the end, the sparkling light in their eyes began
to fall.  They left behind an e-mail address
& sure enough...

I photographed them all!
