A Study of the Relationship Between Who You Are and What You Do. Jonathan Bielaski has embarked on a new journey. We are seeking out the most interesting individuals that we can find. We want to know who they are, what they do and where their life has taken them. Young & Old; Blue & White Collar; City & Country; etc. it does not matter. If you LOVE what you do and it is a true reflection of who you are, then we want to photograph it. This is an ongoing project. Each person’s individual story and how they got there will be posted under their pictures. Photographer: Jonathan Bielaski www.jonathanbielaski.com
