Beauty through photo and video, even in the small things

I’ve been traveling a lot recently, which I am incredibly grateful for. This year alone, I have gone to Wales, Bristol, and Switzerland, and soon I will return to Syria to do a documentary. These life experiences have opened up my life to different and beautiful parts of the world. I have seen beauty in the mundane and by witnessing these things you cultivate a deeper sense of the world and a connection to this earth. I find myself staring into the mountains asking myself how such a beautiful thing was created by a creator. They are huge, towering over the people, looking down upon us. Feeling as we walk on their ground throughout the earth. And one day, they will recall our footsteps having gone onto them. Or the water that flows so beautifully throughout the wilderness. Providing every one of us with the sustenance that we need to survive on this earth. Just so many moments of beauty. Earlier today, I took my sister to the grocery store and as we were leaving, a lady was carrying a tote bag that said life is beautiful. And I reassured myself that yes, it is. Life is indeed a beautiful thing that we shouldn’t take for granted and strive to live to our fullest every day. Observing the simple things, because ultimately that is what cultivates our happiness. To be grateful simply to live as living is one of the greatest things any human could experience. I am so excited to live life and I am looking forward to growing more as I live.
