The Captain of our military escort was very into selfies, so I had promised him a photo with my camera, which of course led to most of the unit, but it gave me a chance to play with my newest lens: The Petzval 55 Mark II

Life will try to convince you Women don't belong in certain spaces, but in my case, it's not my camera allowing passage into the intimate moments of life, but the cross-cultural bond of women.

LET HER DREAM

I've pushed this idea away over and over, telling myself I do not belong in this space. Then I realized, this isn't about me - it's about HER!

So I decided I’m going to start sharing recorded “interviews” or what I hope can feel more like casual conversations with girls facing adversity in different areas of the world.
