I arrived at the halting sites in Western Ireland to learn about this remarkable group of people and their unique way of life. How have they managed to keep their centuries-old traditions and customs in the midst of a modern, ever-changing society? Is there a cost? How are they different? How are they the same? In this series, made with traditional black and white film and analog cameras, I aim to show something that is apart, yet a part of us all.
