    I was the only participant. That wasn't a problem, but perhaps there should be a way to have a minimum number so there is some group dynamics. Thea was awesome. She listened and was able to craft the session to compliment my strengths while suggesting different things to challenge me.

The orange and red hues of the flowers create contrast with the gray backdrop. I was hoping to

These young people, photographed with their parents, embody the delicate balance between cultural traditions and modernity. The grainy texture and muted tones of film photography evoke both the timelessness of their way of life and the uncertainty of their future. As climate chang
