I'm working on a book
where I travel around and ask people I meet one question: What is your dream in life?
This portrait and interview is a page out of it, of a young woman (who is going through the change from a man to a woman). I met her while walking around the streets of a small town in the Northwest Territories.
It's a composite of two images, both by myself. I go into detail about the book and process on my website if anyone's keen. Here's the image and my meeting with her:

KARL: "So, what is your dream? A pretty heavy question, I know"
JODI: (laughs) "It's kind of hard to answer, before i had a difficult unrealistic dream: One world religion, world peace and all that crap.. and i find, it's become a little closer to home, something I can achieve.
Obviously, I'm a little bit different compared to most people..and I'm part of a very small minority. Which has a bad view as it is.
I'd like to be one of the people who change people's view of what I am, what we mean as people.
And so basically, I want to be successful."
I want people to look at me and think I am respectable."
Karl: "Well, I think you are for sure..I think when I first heard... I thought: 'Good for her. Truly.' "
"It takes a lot of guts to be WHO you are, and really not only WHAT but WHO you are inside.
I think you are respectable; for working towards your vision, you know? Whatever that vision is .. it is really cool."
