This is the first in a series of photographs which hold a special and very personal meaning for me. Each has a unique story to tell and make me happy. I chose to start which photos close to home. In the future I’ll post powerful photos from some of my favorite places around the world. I bought my first camera in the 7th grade and have been enthralled with visual imagery ever since. I’ve photographed family, intriguing locales, unique visual objet d’art,… and have even plunged into riots and demonstrations with my camera.

I’ve titled this photo…“Bliss.”
