The eyes, an up close look of one of the horns.

This natural sculptures are from Beer Can Island Beach in Florida. They are a result of erosion in the area.

Sunflowers makes me happy. I was looking for a place to take a self-portrait for a photography class. I am usually never in front of the camera but this time I did not have a choice. My assignment was to be able to represent who I am.

If I have to represent in my portrait who I am, then I had to do it outside and wanted light, color and brightness. I am 100% an outdoor person, I love nature, I love the natural light and in general I am happy, blessed and I want to project that. When I was looking for an outdoor place to do this, I decided to go for the sunflower field that a local farm have near by.

Sunflowers are always facing the sun, they look for light. I am always looking for light in my life, happiness, positivity and beauty. When I say beauty I mean beauty in life. The image above is the one I used for my assignment. I decided to cover part of my face, like wearing a mask because it is what we are living right now.
