This is a personal project. I do not charge a fee to take these photographs, and I cover my own expenses. I am always interested in photographing new people of Japanese descent who were forced into the U.S. internment and prison camps. I am especially interested in people whose stories have unique historical significance.


Although this project focuses on people currently living in Santa Clara County, California, I welcome the opportunity to photograph anyone who was included in this regrettable period of American history. If you know of anyone who would like to participate in this project, please contact me at andyfrazer [at] gorillasites [dot] com.
