MY SIS II

"The sun was a warm kiss on my skin, a gentle invitation to the sea. I remember the sand, soft and yielding beneath my bare feet, as I made my way towards the shimmering expanse of blue. It was a perfect day, the kind that sang with possibility.

But I wasn't just any girl going for a swim. My arms were usually laden with a collection of cameras, tripods, and lenses. They were my constant companions, my tools for capturing the world. Today, though, something held me back from the usual routine. It wasn't a conscious decision, more of a feeling that nudged me to simply be.

As I stood on the shore, the light hit me in a way I’d never noticed before. It wasn't just warmth; it was a painterly brushstroke. It danced on the waves, gilded the tops of the distant dunes, and, for a fleeting moment, seemed to catch the very essence of my skin, making it glow with an inner light. In that instant, a thousand images flooded my mind, a tapestry woven from sunlight and sea spray. It was as if the world itself had decided to pose for me, and I, without a camera in hand, finally understood. This was the birth of a series, a collection of moments etched not onto film, but into my memory".

My sister… she's truly something else. She possesses a spirit that hums with a frequency all its own. You see her, and you know she’s not like everyone else. Even at a young age, she was always this way. She'd drag along this whole elaborate setup – tripods, lenses, cameras stacked high. It was her world, her way of seeing.

And that day, by the ocean, something just… sparked. Maybe it was the way the sunlight touched her skin, a special kind of glow that day. It was more than just warmth; it felt like a revelation. And that’s how it started, that series. It wasn’t planned, it just… happened.

I love my sister. She's so unique. The photos you see… well, they’re of her.
