Dominican Republic
A Service Journey
Being around the Dominicans was one of the best experiences of my life. It was amazing to see a community gather together under its matriarch and over time pull itself from an arbitrary collection of make shift homes to a place with a zip code, waste system, and electricity.
In so many ways, they were without the normalcies we’re used to, but in so many ways they had what everyone is looking for: happiness.
This collection of photos is made of some of the resident of Nuevo Renacer. Both old and young were happy to take a moment to have their photo taken.
The bright colors all around the village gave amazing contrast to the clothing of the residents. A mixture of bright reds, oranges, blues and yellows were all over the walls of the homes.
The heavy and hot sun made for extreme lighting conditions. Shooting indoors or in the shade was a significant difference in the majority of these photos.
