I had surgery this week, and I been stuck at home. So, I went out and explore my front yard. I was looking for little moments of the things that we don’t pay attention to.
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.

I had an obsession with sunflowers in my early twenties, but even though time has passed, and I am no longer obsessed with sunflowers, they still are one of my favorites. Even though the younger years are gone, sunflowers make me feel young and full of life. Xamara Maisonet, http://www.photolifestories.com, travelmystories.com, http://www.xamaramaisonet.com
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.
Well, since I was already there, I thought to myself, might as well have some fun in front on my own camera.
One afternoon, not far from home we went for a walk at Lake Louisa State Park. It was our first time here even though this place is like five minutes away from home. Sometimes the best treasures are in front of you. Take a look…

The only way of getting things done, and get where you want to be, is by moving yourself from the comfort zone. XM
“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody.
