Laughter is a truly amazing thing. It's something that is utterly human and in many ways is universal, but at the same time every individuals laugh is different. What we laugh at why we laugh are different. But, it is a common thread. I am interested in trying to find things like this to tie my life together with the experience of the viewer. I have so many unique memories that involve laughter but I feel like if I can capture something of those memories people could relate to it.
