2 Years Later is an ongoing collection of recorded stories and portraits about how life is different than it was 2 years ago for people around the country. I think that these all contribute to a bigger story and I want to help tell it.

If you’re interested in sharing your story, there are a couple ways to participate:

COBB COUNTY RESIDENTS, head over to CobbStories.com.

EVERYONE ELSE, shoot me an email at justinhadleyphoto@gmail.com with the subject “2 Years Later”.

This project is also a part of Cobb Stories, a collaboration between Cobb Landmarks and The Marietta Arts Council, which aims to collect and tell the stories of the residents of Cobb County, Georgia.

“I felt very certain that Seattle was giving me a clear sign that I do not belong there anymore.”

“It’s just she and I, me and her. Two girls.”

“We’re still young enough to make a couple of mistakes, but also old enough to learn and put what we learn into action and make something happen.”

“We don’t know when tomorrow’s going to come... or not... so you have to find what you like about today. That strength has to come from somewhere inside you.”

“The arts - live theater - will play a strong role in the emotional recovery of our community. It’s all about creating an escape from the pain that is real in the world.”
