A Thousand Words

A Thousand Words features photography so rich with narrative that it tells a story all on its own.

Food has powers. It picks us up from our lonely corners and sits us back down, together. It pulls us out of ourselves, to the kitchen, to the table, to the diner down the block.

These days the continents are barren, the heroes defenseless against spotted produce.
