My first experience sharing the work was with a pal, Katy; it left me stunned. I randomly selected five photos from thousands and texted them. Within minutes, Katy called back and said, “I see myself.” She was five years old and walking with her family while holding onto her sister's stroller.

My second share was within days of the “Katy sighting,” I got a call from a pal, Amanda; she asked if she could share a few with a friend. It was Stanley Mouse, the artist who designed the Grateful Dead's Skeleton and Roses poster. He was in one walking through Golden Gate Park
