Force of Nature
Picture a force of nature. A jeweled dew droplet resting in a tiny fern I’d wager the first thing that popped into your head is some indomitable elemental power: crashing waves, raging wildfires, snowstorms that bury cities? After all, these are the forces of nature popularized in every disaster movie: grand, elegant spectacles over which humans must triumph.

My whole life my family never really went on vacations. We were +low income but not completely poor. Every year we would go to the county fair and I would always have so much fun looking at the animals and attractions while eating greasy food. My favorite part was obviously the rides as I am a thrill freak and nothing will ever beat the amazing view of seeing the place at night. When the sun goes down and the lights come out there is a whole new experience filled with magic as if the night would never end. Whether I was with friends or by myself I found myself sprinting from ride to ride to try and get the most out before we had to leave.

This picture represents me giving up the things I thought that were essential for me but have only weighed me down throughout my time having them. I used to think that I should never forget about the past, I should learn from them. So I collect memory items. Little objects that have significant meaning to me and it has become a problem is recent times because I have been holding on to intense memories from my past I associate with depression and suicide. I thought that just throwing them away would mean I am giving up the time period and the lessons that were taught. I learned about what it takes to be happy and I found the sort of self actualization that I would consider equivalent to “finding jesus” but in a non religious way.

Ocean Gate is a coastal town in central New Jersey wedged between the Toms River and the rustic pine barrens. It is known for its long neighborhood boardwalk that twists around shallow beaches, fishing piers, and shell-colored houses. When you look out at the water, you can watch double-decker yachts and catamarans pass each other by. The famous Thomas A. Mathis bridge leading to Seaside Heights looms in the distance. Because of its unprecedented beauty, Ocean Gate is where every county local goes to unwind.

When it comes to taking pictures of my family, I prefer to try and capture real moments rather than artificial poses. I don’t like going into a studio and watching as my children struggle to put on natural looking smile. I prefer a real smile with a twinkle in the eye that reflects their true and immediate emotions.

When you think of summer, what is the first thing that pops in your head? For me, it’s the beach. Luckily I live close to it. I can walk to the beach; it is only eight blocks from my home. It has been almost a month in a half since I had seen the beach. So, I want to talk about the photo that I took when I went for a walk with my husband, Ian, and my mom. On a Sunday afternoon, the beach was crowded with people and their pets. My husband and my mother were getting ready to head home when I saw “The Huntington Beach Pier” from the parking lot. It was such a beautiful site, almost as if I hadn’t seen “The Huntington Beach Pier” in years. I knew right there. I had to take a photo.

It was a Sunday afternoon and Maggie, our 5 years old German Shepherd, was anxious for her walk. We decided on the dog park at Bruce Pit to allow her some freedom as these parks allow pets to be unleashed all at the owner's discretion of course. The sky did not look favourable upon our arrival but we decided to take the trail for Maggie's sake. She bounded away and we followed. I have not visited this trail in quite some time so when I came across this scene I was stopped in my tracks. My partner did not realize that I was no longer beside him until some few yards away when I saw him in my periphery looking back at me.

Being a photographer brought many benefits into my life. Besides doing something I love, creating beautiful moments in life, working with other creatives, creating beautiful photos for so many people in my life, one of the most beautiful benefits of being a photographer is exploring and the drive to see more.

When I was a kid, I had an art teacher who used to tell me all the time that "less leads to the best". What he meant by that is that we make better art when there are constraints because it pushes us to the limit of our creativity. Although I understood what he was saying, I couldn't entirely grasp it until I took this shot you're looking at right now.

There is an inexplicable feeling of being somewhere alone. The absence of alternative human presence almost forces a person to become completely immersed in place itself. Something I have found is that every place has a very distinct feeling that is almost always entirely unique. This place, tucked away in the vast expanse of the California Desert, produces a feeling of remote and off grid lonesomeness that is hard to replicate.
