Photographers love to travel but sometimes it pays to look at what is close at hand and document the community you live in. Richard Beaven has done just that, turning his lens on the residents of Ghent, about 120 miles north of New York City creating an archive of who was in the town during its bicentennial year.
"Over 2,000 years ago, one of humanity's most profound thinkers, Aristotle, stated that the whole of our parts is greater than the sum. Collectively, the bits and pieces of all our differences can, theoretically, combine to reveal a better, more complex, "us"." -Creative Boom, October 21, 2020
"In difficult times, we find strength from the aspects of life and those around us who help us recognize how interconnected we truly are." -F-StopMagazine, November 7, 2020
