21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
While attending a funeral, I photographed a woman with a unique persona, dress, and intellect.

I present myself to the world as my true self. The portrait of this woman's persona reflects a similar inner and outer uniqueness of her intellect, self-acceptance, and lack of conformity to others, events, or norms.
