Stacy Pearsall's Veterans Portrait Project

There are so many outstanding projects in our industry, but now and then an artist comes along with a project and a series of stories I just want to share. Airing later this week is a new episode of "Why?" featuring ​the work of Stacy Pearsall. To date, she's photographed and shared the stories of 6500 veterans in 27 different states.  

There's no reason for me to share more of her story since the short video below will take you through her background as a photographer, journalist, educator, and veteran. She's working hard to get the project to Alaska this year, and she's set up a GoFunMe page, giving us a chance to participate and help expand the story she's telling about America's veterans throughout the United States.

"The Veterans Portrait Project (VPP) aims to promote awareness of American veterans through the art of photography, videography, printed exhibits and community events."

Click on any of the images in this post to link to Stacy's GoFundMe page if you'd like to help with the project. She's telling a remarkable story, and it won't take very much from each of us to help her achieve her Alaska goal and beyond.
