These photographs required: enduring long drives and walks, heat and cold, mosquitoes, and the occasional snake, to obtain, which also brought my mind back to the present moment! Photography is its own meditation — a way of slowing down, observing, and letting the world reveal itself without forcing anything. Many attempts are unsuccessful; the light shifts, the moment disappears, or the shot simply doesn’t turn out. This humbling process teaches the mindful qualities of patience, presence, and acceptance.

These photos are the moments I was fortunate enough to witness, while learning to move through life with more self- awareness. Click on a photo to review all the photos, some are not visible on this page.
