#YesYouCan #BeTheChange
Why
did she take
the paper flowers
and the huge golden butterfly
inhabiting her head
(along with the stuffed
bird
in her ribcage)
and without saying a word
lay them out
on the wooden
floor?
~Nikos Engonopoulas, from Aubade.

Photography
I’m passionate about capturing the essence of spaces and unveiling their unique stories through the lens. With a keen eye for detail and a dedication to capturing the perfect composition, I strive to create stunning imagery that evokes emotion and inspires others. I (and the SC MEDIA staff) offer tailored custom sessions on request.

I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
