About Me

"I'M A [WO]MAN OF MY WORD AND MY WORDS GOT FOUR LETTERS"
~ Author Unknown (Well, more like 'not remembered')
I am what I am only.
I am a daughter, sister, cousin, an aunt, mother, friend and also lover. I have few dreams and many aspirations. I believe in many things: I walk with my head facing the sky. I sometimes fall. I believe in GOD. I believe GOD believes in me. I believe in karma. I believe that I was meant to be here and that I'm not going anywhere until I've lived.
I am stubborn. I am messy but not disorganized. I am creative. Being creative accounts for my messiness - I think. I love cooking but not doing dishes. I love cheese...
...and technology...
...and camera equipment (that falls into technology, doesn't it?)...
...especially Canon (sorry Nikon)...
...and learning.
I love taking pictures - especially of my son. I am worried that I will be a horrible mother. I am worried that my son will notice that I'm a horrible mother or won't notice me at all. I am worried that I worry.
I am afraid of hairy spiders and stupid people and stupid people holding hairy spiders. (You never know what stupid people will do with hairy spiders.)
I am afraid of being lonely but not of being alone.
I am primarily afraid of failing and failure.
I love poetry that makes you feel something. I love music that makes you feel. I love photography that makes you feel something. I do not photograph rolling hills and waterfalls. I do photograph cityscapes and people. I love beautiful things. I want to be a beautiful thing. I want others to realize they have the capacity to be beautiful things without even trying.
I am a child of film but have been adopted by digital (I miss my real parents). My style is not always pretty but it is always true. I do not believe in PhotoShop but do know that no amount of retouching can make you more beautiful that you already are. I only ask that you let me see you the way you were intended to be seen.
I am a poet without a poem...until now.
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it" - Confucius
