i want to make photographs about the people i love for the rest of my life.

when i told the photographer i was interning for, that all i want to do for the rest of my life is make photographs of hmong people, he looked at me and said, how do you know this what you want to do for the rest of your life? I thought about it, and said, "i just know, there are so many things that needs to be told to the world and i want to be a part of that voice."

I always think your work is amazing.  I feel like a broken broken record.  It illicits a nostalgia, an emotional connection, and the visuals although they're very understated - nevertheless -- are so impactful.   For you to continue working with the Hmong community is an immense benefit to us, to have someone with such insightfullness to record us visually.
