this project has been a work in progress for the last year and a half. what started as a research topic grew to be a visual journey for my master’s thesis project, in the form of my first pop up photo gallery.

To Dr. Moody, thank you for the class and paper that birthed the thought for this project. To Dr. Baker, Professor Callaway, and my thesis committee members, your advice and support carried me through this more than you know. To Rocko, a special thanks to you for opening your barbershop as the center for this exhibit. To the Creative Waco team, thank you for your open support and commitment to this special project of mine. And to my father, thank you for gifting the book, Promise that You will See about Me by Miles Marshall Lewis that birthed the start of it all last Summer.
