About Me
This is a loving reminder to all that I have the honor to crossed path with. I wish you all a heart full of love, peace inside and out, and most important, may you all be in great health. I am grateful to be alive, to live life, to learn and to love. If I love life, my greatest gratitude to life is all of you that remind me everyday of my existence. Thank you all for inspiring me to see life in ways that I did not know that I have to learn. In life, I am learning to pay attention, to everything around me, my plants my four legged companions, to the wind and the way the sun move across the sky, to the puddle that no one wants to step in, and all the way down to a broken finger nail…but most important, I pay attention especially to people, to who we truly are and the gifts that we each have to share. I am so far from being consistent at this, but when I do, I see magic.
We meet people all the time, some of us everyday, some of us chose not to look up and see, and some of us don’t realize what we’re seeing. Life is like a movie in which our eyes see the screen of perceptions. What we learn from our perceptions is what we seem to take that as our reality. In being a student to life, I have learned that photography allows me to stop the screen and see what I miss while I was too busy making judgments and my own perceptions for my reality.
If we learn from all things, I want to share with you what I have learned from photographing bridges, doors and fences. I see them as symbols to our connections to humanity and our relationships with each others. There are many bridges in the world; some get cross everyday by thousands of lives, and some never get cross at all. There are unnecessary fences that we put up in life due to our fears, ignorance and lack of understanding. It’s our journey to connect or disconnect from one another. I see doors as a symbol to our connections with our human spirits. Each time we open a door, is like shaking someone’s hand, we never know what lies behind it. It could be as simple as opening the door into our own home every day. Or opening a new door to meeting someone new and to learning something from them that we did not know we have to learn in order to grow.
When we meet each other, if we do our best to pay attention to who we truly are and what lessons or gifts are we giving and receiving. When we look at each other in this perspective we tend to see one another with less judgment and more compassion, knowing that we are all here for the same reasons. TO LOVE and TO BE LOVE.
