For my photo essay, I wanted to focus on a Gurdwara in my neighborhood, specifically on the practice of serving free food that takes place every day. I have access to the story as it is a place within my community that I have been to before. I want to document the members of the temple who work and serve food to visitors, and the reasons why the practice is important to their personal faith and life. I also hope to document some of the people who come to the temple for meals, and their reasons for doing so. Overall, I want to be able to capture the relationship that the Gurdwara and its members has with its community, and the impact service and generosity has on a frequently misunderstood community.
