What inspired the photo and how does it relate to the theme?
In the first half of my adult life, after graduating from Stanford University, I received an MBA and worked for Fortune 500 firms, and then became a consultant to start-up companies in Silicon Valley, nationally and around the world. Midlife, I made a 180 switch to creative and more joyful pursuits. I began writing and taking photographs, with my articles and related photos published in general interest magazines and academic journals, and my photography displayed in galleries and online competitions. I began traveling the world, finding and grasping beauty and joy wherever I saw it with my camera.

One of my greatest joys is the process of capturing with my camera the essence of an individual, and I love displays of color, especially when contained within formal elements. And a huge part of the pleasure in the process is knowing that these people, everywhere and anywhere in the world, willingly reveal themselves, unencumbered, to me. Today, I miss traveling and the joy of portrait photography so much, but I want to share what I have seen and experienced
