When Morgan was away on a new adventure, she and her grandma Joan would write letters back and forth.
From Dublin to Delhi, there would always be prints from grandma's disposable Fujifilm tucked inside the bird-themed stationary.
​
The camera lived in Joan's purse, and she loved candid family shots. You were only safe when she stopped to wind it.
​
Eyes closed or mouths full or backs turned - it didn't matter. She only saw the good in moments and in people.
She wanted them
to see it, too.
Morgan cherishes those memories - of knowing a flash could come at any time to deem a tiny moment worthy of permanence.
​
And of tearing open the envelopes covered in too many stamps. Reading about what grandpa had for lunch.
​
Love poured from the paper and brought her home.
​
Now too, with a camera stowed in her bag, Morgan is creating Dear Joanie.
​
So as to never stop seeing the goodness and beauty all around us.
