That Karen.
I picked up my camera to fuel & release the fire from inside.
Photography is an extension of my zest for life! It began when I was about 7 as a way for me to communicate and connect when I first came to the US & didn't speak English. After 15 yrs at my corp job, feeling less fulfilled & more unlike myself, I picked up my camera again and jumped into making it more than just a hobby.
Photography doesn't need words. It's less about what you see & more about how you see it & feel.
