'It's a tumultuous time for our country, and everyone's got an opinion.' From San Diego to Arizona, New York-based photographer Sinna Nasseri hits the road to speak with citizens about the issues they care about most.
"I've been traveling pretty much this whole year, and after photographing the Democratic primaries, we got sidetracked a little bit by the coronavirus," recalls Nasseri via phone. "This leg of my journey has been San Diego to Arizona, so far. It's been more difficult to find people—I think people are more wary about being approached by a stranger, because of COVID-19—but surprisingly, it's been less weird than I thought it would be.
Throughout his journey, Nasseri has been talking to people about the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of this summer's uprisings. "I talk to people about everything, but I'm very interested in social movements right now," he says, adding, "It's a tumultuous time for our country, and everyone's got an opinion. A lot of the opinions are informed by pundits on TV and media, so you hear a lot of the same things over and over from the different sides.
