Welcome to the Love Project. I give someone 3 prompts to choose from (all relating to love), they answer one prompt, and I photograph them (with b&w film) while they answer. Come back every week for a new story of love.
I would say that I have always felt a lot of love for a lot of people, but the first time I fell in love was when I was 12 years old.
I remember being woken up really early in the morning and running downstairs to get in the car with my parents to go to the hospital for my little brother to be born. I knew how babies were born, but I had always been scared of the idea of having a baby.
But when the doctor looked at me after my mom had my baby brother and said "I bet you don't want to have any kids now, right?" I said "No, actually, I want to have kids now!" because I fell in love with him the minute that I saw him.
I just couldn't believe how strong my mom was for what she had just done and that she had done it for all of us. When I held him, while I had always loved all of my siblings, that was the first time I knew I had fallen in love.
