“What made the Cleveland 20/20 project so exciting for me was to revisit the neighborhoods and cityscape of Cleveland while following photographer Ruddy Roye. The poetic process of his shooting methods sparked thrills as I documented his sessions through my moving picture camera. A true inspiration as a photographer and humanitarian.”
