Stories and pictures. What are we documenting and for whom? Photographer Samia Minnicks has a pretty simple ask: "What brings genuine joy into your life? Do me a favor and close your eyes to take a minute to think about it." Do that for her, do that for us, and then—and only then—press play on this episode.
Beyond what you can see, photography connects us to emotions—even, as was the case with Samia, with family we never had the chance to meet. Her gift to the world goes well beyond the exquisite photographs she captures for her clients, and to be blunt, her ardor for those connections can not be summarized here.
