Behind the Camera
As a 17-year-old writer, journalist, photographer, runner, and aspiring science communicator, this site is my attempt to learn and grow, while hopefully revealing the infinite beauty of the earth-- and the consequences, both good and bad, of our actions.
My spirit animal: either a hummingbird, stoat, or painted wolf.
"Once we were blobs in the sea, and then fishes, and then lizards and rats and then monkeys, and hundreds of things in between. This hand was once a fin, this hand once had claws! In my human mouth I have the pointy teeth of a wolf and the chisel teeth of a rabbit and the grinding teeth of a cow! Our blood is as salty as the sea we used to live in! When we’re frightened, the hair on our skin stands up, just like it did when we had fur. We are history! Everything we’ve ever been on the way to becoming us, we still are.¨
~ Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
