"Dear Lord, You're Not Black, White or Brown."

Shot on Sony NX5U

This is a personal poem that I've been developing and will continue to work on. I used two panel LED lights within this video.

"It's All In The Details"

Shot on Canon T5i

This is a project where I used a Flash Unit, On-Camera LED Light and natural lighting as a secondary source. I thoroughly enjoyed practicing on my manual focusing abilities and using the different settings on the DSLR camera. This is probably my favorite project where I had various ways to control and manipulate the lighting. To use fill flash, direct lighting, with and without diffusion, bounce the flash off a side wall, chiaroscuro, rembrandt and cameo lighting, and last but not least, my favorite, silhouette shot(s).

A Step Into the Mosaic of My Visions"

Serenity - Where I Belong

Trees have been guides for so many people. This was taken as I laid on the grounds of Electric Forest.

Protect, Defend and Shed

For a period of time, I constantly came across snails. They represent protection and defenses.

Bathe In Nature

A milk bath amongst the trees is to happen someday.

He's Watching

One of my model dogs. We watch sunrises together.

Bridges = Connections

Bridges have always been symbolic to me. I think of the hearing and Deaf world, the separation that exists, and how I'm so familiar, too familiarized with that bridge.

She Sees You

Eyes are the windows into your soul. She belongs to another dear friend of mine, and I've always felt like she could see-see people.

She Wants Freedom

She wants freedom, but sometimes we need to fence ourselves in for our own protection.

Houses Are Like People

Houses are like people, to each their own and they have their own story. You either like 'em or you don't. Every little detail defines the tales we've lived. There's no right or wrong in what we do, it's what we choose to see and accept into our own reality. You either see beauty or not, it's all about perspective.

He's Coming

The same morn my model dog and I watched the sunrise, Sir Carlos, one of the senior cats came up to join us.

Sleepless Nights Will Always Wake

This was taken during a time I started doing dream-works. I felt more turned & flipped around than stable, yet this was the most collected I’d been. I had many questions, but the questions of life and within life did not and does not eclipse my mind as much as they used to. Some days are better than others. Life will always be a progress of a sort, a journey, a story to create.

Can't You See: I'm Exhausted

My sense of sanity shook at the core multiple times in my 20's.

Praying for Rest

This was a time I started to meditate regularly. I slowly stared praying again.

God, I know you are to be a source of peace. But, I swear, you were the source of just the opposite for some time.

Coming Out of the Shadows

To bear it all and shed every layer: I learned (and still am learning) to love the skin I'm in.

Receiving Light

Sometimes we need to change up our crowns, put on some lipstick and breathe in the sunlight.

Step and Hold Into The Light

This was just before I once again had most of my life packed up in boxes and just before I went to New Mexico for a Women of the Mesa retreat. I had this aim to either return to school or go abroad to another country. I stepped into a new light and decided: I REFUSE to stay the same.. I know some say I’m crazy, others say I’m brave and courageous. I say I’m trying to do the best I can. To disassemble to ground zero once again.. to reassemble myself, once again. I refuse to go quietly, I’m still here to keep going forward. Life isn’t meant to be lived comfortably. Om Mani Padme Hum. Here’s to magikal healing as I continue on this journey of mine. Here’s to protecting myself as I continue to open up and step into a new light.
