Tyler K.

I was given Tyler's name by Sarah D. which was very helpful because I had been looking for a Tyler with no luck for a few weeks now. I am really glad I was able to photograph him and his family for several reasons: 1. Because even though I have only met them briefly, they seem like great people and 2. I have never been in or photographed in a fire station! Those trucks are huge! I had no idea how big they were until I stood next to one.

What makes you different from other Tylers?
Everything but my first name. God has blessed me with every card that I've put my heart into and the reason I'm different is because of the cards God has given me. From being given the opportunity to play college baseball at SCAD to marrying the girl of my dreams. God has blessed me with everything I've dreamed of.

Would you change your name if you could?
When I was a kid, I always wanted to change my name. I appreciate it now. I always thought about my grandkids calling me Grandpa Tyler. It sounds like such a young name; you don't hear older people named Tyler.

 

Thank you, Tyler and Emily, for being part of this project! It was great to meet and talk with you both!
