This photographic series by Evan Witek takes the viewer through the daily life of Sam Brett. Sam is a philanthropist and a general hard worker with a standard day job; however, at night, he becomes the sparkling Samantha Vega. Evan Witek follows Sam's every step throughout one day, from one life to the other.

The result is an eye-opening series that is shocking at times, but very sentimental and completely insightful. Evan Witek succeeds at humanizing the glitz and glamour of a cross-dresser's life.
