Back at the end of March I got to photograph the annual March for Respect for the Arc of Tri-Cities. This is the fifth year I’ve documented it for them, and I always have a blast. From the Arc Website:

The dictionary defines “respect” as a showing of honor and consideration. Holding a level of esteem and regard for one another. It’s a quite simple concept, actually. So simple, in fact, it’s hard to comprehend how easily it can be forgotten. Especially to the hundreds of thousands of citizens living with disabilities. Regardless of our differences, we all want many of the same things. To be loved and understood. To receive a fair chance. To find respect. On the second to the last Saturday in March, more than 700 of us will gather to walk a mile for respect. With your participation, who knows how far we can go.

The Arc needed a set of black and white images to publish in their newsletter. These are a few of my favorites from the edit I put together for them. Click on any image to see them larger:
