Photographers from all four CT Hearst newspapers have spent the past two weeks photographing people throughout the state and asking them “What does America mean to you?” for a July 4th special section. I’ve met some amazing people and enjoyed spending time with each and every one. Thank you to all my “models” for taking the time to pose for a portrait and share what America means to you. And also the group of boys at the skate park who agreed to stop skating for 15 minutes to pose in the background. Oh, and that one kid who held my reflector. Check out the entire package in this Sunday’s Advocate. Have a happy and safe holiday.
