This is Memphis - Photo project by Michael Cardwell

Michael Cardwell is a local photographer who aims to give a personal face to the city of Memphis through a series of upper body, black and white photographs.  The project is called This is Memphis, and features people from all walks of life who work in organizations and individually beautifying, creating social programs, promoting sports and health, education, music, art, and recycling.  Michael Cardwell should be included in his own series because his photos are emotional and heartfelt.  I wanted to be a part of this project because Memphis is a city I feel is very misunderstood.  Please visit the website and scroll through.  The photos are amazing. http://thisismemphis.com/.  Here are some of the Roller Derby girls photographed.
