Almost every one of us is fond of taking pictures, and the rise of the internet has put a stamp on it. However, we like others’ pictures only when they carry a strong emotion. A celebrated photographer Chris Porsz has spent decades mastering street photography. On his journey, he took many pictures of strangers in the early 80s’, and after 40 long years, Chris decided to find these people. He clicked them again and named the photography series comparing their old and new photos as “Reunions”. The series has been published as a book, and some portion of the money earned by Chris will be donated to breast cancer research.
