Long Beach Photography - Candlelight Vigil Women's Shelter of Long Beach
I had the honor last month to photograph a very special event for my second year for the Women's Shelter of Long Beach. Over 200 people gathered on the streets of downtown Long Beach for the Candlelight Walk Against Domestic Violence to honor the victims. A candle was lit as they read the names of the victims that have passes away this year. Demonstrators wore purple and purple ribbons to show their support. This is their 5th annual march and it is getting bigger and better every year. Please support the WSLB or seek them out for assistance if you are in need. www.womenshelterlb.org
A Little about me: When I was a kid I was surrounded by artists in my family. Both of my grandmothers, dear old dad, and my older brother were all amazing at drawing and painting. I tried to follow in their footsteps, but could never quite get there. That is until I picked up a camera in my first photo class in high school. I was hooked!
Any photograph that I take is an extension of myself. It is what I find to look cool, beautiful, funny, sweet, etc. I love the sculpted lines of a vintage car, the bright colors of a mural, the texture of old paint on a wall, the way the afternoon light warms a face, a dark silhouette against the sunset. I am fascinated by the way they can show love between a bride and groom, the sassy side of a woman’s personality, or the carefree attitude of a child. I love that my photographs tell it all without any words.
