She said: Photography is a significant part of my daily life, filling and charging me with the desire to keep on creating. Every moment of photographing is accompanied with a childish excitement as if it were the first time. The camera enables me to see life at one frame at a time and to discover a whole world within it; to choose one moment in time, to commemorate it, to hold its beauty, to examine it and see what the eye missed in a glimpse: a speck of dust, a single light, movement of fabric, water.
I love photographing everything: children, young and old people, landscapes, urban streets, architecture, the random and the staged, color and black & white. I photograph everything pretty to me at any moment.
I see my photographs as describing beauty and optimism, both apparently are in the eyes of the beholder.
