Sometimes life takes you in unexpected places and you can clamber to get back to where you think you’re supposed to be, or you can stop a moment and see what’s beautiful in your new surroundings, and pause.

A true concerted effort between photographer and subject, Pause documents the friendship and photographic collaboration of photographer Charles Thomas Rogers and creative director/model Jerry Solon.

5% of each “PAUSE” book sale will be donated to benefit the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). The NKF is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families, and tens of millions of Americans at risk.
