PERU-NARAMA!
My younger sister just got back from a trip to Peru which made me want to revisit the photos I took from when I went in 2009. While going through them I came across these panoramas that I took at Colca Canyon and Machu Picchu. These images were all made by stitching together several photos taken in portrait orientation. My friend says I came up with this method but I think it was just easier for me to keep a flat horizon while shooting in portrait mode. Either way, I am still quite proud of these images.

Yellow Balloon Goes To The Moon
Concept art for an unfinished children’s book. The story was about a yellow balloon that floats up to the moon and beyond. The artwork was made by scanning images of pottery and textiles. It’s inspiring to me to come across and old idea like this and see so much value in it. Enough that I think I have to finish this book!

Mom, 27 & 62
I'd like to show my support on International Women's Day by celebrating Suhasini John, my Mom. On the left is a photo of her when she was 27. On the right is a recreation of the photo by me, taken this past January, at age 62. This past holiday season, she found out that she has breast cancer and immediately began treatment to fight it from spreading. She asked me to take this photo before starting chemotherapy. My mom is and always has been the most beautiful and powerful woman on earth. Two months into intense treatment and she continues to be just as stunning and strong! During this difficult, and uncertain battle, she is the one showing us how to make it through with strength and grace. Love you Mumma! Ummas!
