Finding Beauty

Photography by Marc Curless

Though Marc Curless spent most of his childhood in small town Indiana, USA, he and his family lived as missionaries in Ramallah, Palestine, for four years during his elementary school years. It took him a long time to believe he was a real TCK but he manifested all the symptoms early on. He has lived and worked in Pakistan (where he met his wife), Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Egypt, China, Malaysia, and the United States. Although he has filled various positions in schools, he has made his home as a high school counselor for over fourteen years. He and Melanie currently live in Baltimore, Maryland.
