Day OneHundred-FortySix


"Innocent Beauty" 
iheartfaces Beautiful B/W Photo Challenge

I captured this little girl while visiting Belitung Island, Indonesia.  The island is made up of beautiful rock formations and a mile long fishing village entirely built on bamboo stilts.  Cameras are not something they encounter very often, so the reactions when I would show them the shot on my LCD screen after I took the picture was truly inspiring.  The children would follow behind and continually yell, "Mrs! Photo! Photo!" or duck behind each other, the walls, their parents' legs....or behind their hand, like this little girl.  She was completely awestruck when I showed her the image of herself.  Her innocence and beauty simply stole my heart.

About Me

My photo
Grad Student. Wife. Mom. An artist, yogi, photographer, graphic designer, former teacher and expat...photography has been part of my life since I can remember. I love the sound of a shutter clicking, travel, lotus flowers, inversions, backyards, an ice cold G&T, a great pair of shoes, and an inspiring read....just to name a few. I truly believe Ewan MacGregor could be my best friend and I was a dancer in my past life....or at least should have been. (And no, I can't dance.) LIFE IS GOOD.
