"I’m a military baby, and I’ve traveled all over, but I’ve lived in Memphis now for twelve years. Got married two months ago to a girl I met here. I have to say marriage isn't easy. First, there was all the planning that went into the wedding. And then adjusting to being married. I’m responsible for another person now, not just myself, and I have to make sure she has what she needs. But it’s good, and I’m happy. If I had to sum it up, I'd say I’m just a simple guy who’s glad he’s married now."
*Occasionally, the person I'm photographing hesitates to give me his or her real name, as this young man did. I always tell them it's fine if they want to make one up. He said, "Just call me 'Kyle.'"
