Earth Day is a celebration of our environment. For me, a big shift came when my daughter would bring home her excitement from school, about how we can make a difference for today and our future. I had to be a good role model, right?
She doesn't live at home since she is a college graduate. Her teaching me has had a positive effect.
Recently, a strong impact and inspiration, is my looking at what I am photographing from Mother Earth.
The photos in this blog are kale, the ocean, visiting a picking farm, rocks, trees.
The way you live your life can be triggered by looking at photos or taking them. Photos are powerful. They induct your values and responsibility.
You can look at a magazine or book or photos and notice which ones resonate with you. Why do you think that picture has an impact?
I appreciate the gifts of nature since I have been photographing. Parents talk about what kind of environmental future their children and grandchildren will have, so that inspires them to make shifts in their daily life
