From Army captains who are coming back from battle, to transgender people on the brink of transitioning, finding hope can be as simple as telling your story through photographs. 

Drew Faithful, a transgender male and a sexual abuse survivor (pictured below), received a camera before he medically transitioned to help people understand his experience. He's a participant in the "Hope Is Project," in which each person receives a camera with one instruction: To photograph their vision of hope.

It's the vision of Sarah Takako Skinner, who came up with the project after reflecting on how hope has shaped her own life. 

Together, they weigh in on this new project, and what they hope to achieve.
