amount of photos.
As you know, I’ve been in solitary confinement approx. 14. 5 years. It’s like the system has buried me alive and I’m
dead to the outside world. Those photos mean so very much to me right now. All I have is $ 1. 75 in my inmate account
right now. If I send you $ 1. 00 of that, how many of the photos will that purchase me?
In my elation at the photo shoot today, I forgot to mention that today June 19 th was my deceased mom’s birthday. I
know it’s not a big significance, but reflecting on it afterward it seemed symbolic and special that the photo shoot took
place on my mother’s birthday!
I don’t know how to make you feel the emotion and importance of those photos, but to be real, I want to show the
world I’m alive! I want to look at those photos and feel alive! It would really help with my pain. I felt joyful today
during the photo shoot. I wanted it to never end. Every time you all visit and leave, I feel saddened. But I capture and
cherish those moments in time, replaying them in my mind’s eye, feeling grateful for human interaction and contact.
But today, just the simple handshakes we shared was a welcome addition to my sensory deprived life.
Please tell me how many photos I can get? I want those photos of myself, almost as bad as I want my freedom.
Thank you for making a lot of the positive occurrences that are happening in my life possible. I don’t know exactly
how the law led you to me, but I thank God it did. I appreciate everything you and EJI are doing for me. Please send me
some photos, okay?
