Sometimes people say, "I can't imagine". So, how do I make them imagine?

Before the World Race, I never would have told you I'm a photographer. I brought a hand-me-down, 11-year-old Canon EOS 7D, two lenses (50mm & 10-22mm), and a WHOLE lot of eagerness.  

This collection is an ode to all things beautiful and bittersweet. These photos see and celebrate our humanity as they attempt to capture the beauty in landscapes and the richness of relationships. Beauty brought us into communion with each other, regardless of language.

With my kitchen filled with the smell of nostalgia, this, I believe, is one of the best ways I can honor the season. Grab a cup of coffee (and to my squad, maybe a tissue).
