My name is Jonathan Foster. I'm a 3rd year photojournalism major at RIT and this is my exploration of the ideas of truth and freedom. “In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and He answered by setting me free.” Psalm 118:5

“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.” - Jack Kerouac
"Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."-Thomas Jefferson
