These days I’m most grateful for my life and being a cancer survivor. Struggling and coming through that health crisis allowed me to embrace my life more fully and dive into creativity and photography. This photograph is a self-portrait that captures my gratitude, aliveness, and love of photography.

I am grateful that my friend Paul had this photo taken. And intensely grateful that he would be excited it is going to a good cause… in spite of itself.

I am incredibly grateful to these two wonderful women for making me laugh, keeping me sane, pushing me to be better and constantly reminding me to be joyful and truthful. I can’t believe it’s almost been 12 years! The next 12 will be even better :)
