By Photojournalist Susan Brannon. Through the use of documentary photography and participating in photography workshops, The Crossing Borders Project encourages citizens to generate their own voice, rather then others doing it for them. Participants capture images to reflect their lives, their interests, and their stories to share across borders.

Workshop in Florence started!
We had our third meeting yesterday, and we shared our images, soon to be posted here and in our Facebook group, "The Crossing Borders Project"
I find it interesting that the "local Florentines" have no desire to participate. Some local professors told me that the students are busy between work and studying and really do not have time, although it is a good idea. But what is the idea, if 1/2 of the desired group does not participate?
However, as with all projects, they need to have the ability to flow like a river and those who come, are more than involved, they are excited, and put 100% effort in the project! This makes me excited to see what "voice" will come from this effort.
