Praise

In 2018 Ghent, New York celebrated its bicentennial anniversary. To mark the occasion photographer Richard Beaven set out to create individual portraits which collectively would represent a “snapshot” and form an archive of the current community. Ultimately 276 portraits were made comprising a clear-eyed and earnest depiction of this unique Hudson Valley town.

"Over 2,000 years ago, one of humanity's most profound thinkers, Aristotle, stated that the whole of our parts is greater than the sum. Collectively, the bits and pieces of all our differences can, theoretically, combine to reveal a better, more complex, "us"." - Creative Boom, October 21, 2020

"In difficult times, we find strength from the aspects of life and those around us who help us recognize how interconnected we truly are." - F-Stop Magazine, November 7, 2020
