Give Me A Sign

A paper book of film photography exploring signs in Oregon, by David Friend. For sale in 2027.

“Give me a sign that I should trust my instincts. Give me a sign that we’re learning to understand each other. Give me a sign that magic is real. Give me a sign that the right people are finding each other. Give me a sign that hope isn’t foolish. Give me a sign that my curiosity is leading me somewhere worthwhile. Give me a sign that compassion is winning over fear. Give me a sign that the future is worth looking forward to. Give me a sign that love is worth the risk. Give me a sign that we’re going to be okay. Give me a sign that there’s still room for wonder. Give me a sign that people are finding the courage to be themselves. Give me a sign that things don’t have to make sense just yet. Give me a sign that kindness is all around us. Give me a sign that we can still imagine a better world. Give me a sign that we’re just getting started.”
