Mickey Ross: Moments and Situations

Orphans go hiking on holidays
My good friend and fellow photographer Dawn Chapman and I consider ourselves ‘orphans of Christmas’. We’ve never particularly enjoyed celebrating it for our own reasons, and try to do something out of the ordinary every year as a kind of middle-finger-up at the holiday.
