Hello, my name is Nika. I am nineteen.

 

I have been lost many times, only to be found.

I believe just as the sun renews the sky each morning,

so can our souls be renewed with each breath we take.

The world can be awful, beautiful, hating, loving,

numbing, abandoning, and seeking;

however it treats me, I want to capture it; I want to feel it.

There is beauty in the most dreadful of places,

you just have to search and find it.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, it will come to you.

 

Feel free to message me for whatever reason;

I would love to talk to you.

Nikki's photographs do more than exist as images. To look at one is to hear the sea, to smell the forest, and to taste the wind. She exposes her heart in visual form, and I admire her bravery so much. Nikki, you are truly an inspiration and a friend.

Nikki's photographs do more than exist as images. To look at one is to hear the sea, to smell the forest, and to taste the wind.

Your photographs do the one thing I am always searching for when I pick up a camera, and that is to make you feel. You have an extraordinary gift.

I don't like to use the word beautiful much, but I think that's the only appropriate way to describe Nikki's pictures.

Nikki amazes me, with each new upload and each comment she gives me on my photographs. Her comments always bring such a smile to my face. All the emotion she puts into her own photographs, and even the words she comes up with to describe one other than her own makes me wish I had a brain like hers. She sees more in my … Read more

Nikki amazes me, with each new upload and each comment she gives me on my photographs. Her comments always bring such a smile to my face. All the emotion she puts into her own photographs, and even the words she comes up with to describe one other than her own makes me wish I had a brain like hers. She sees more in my photographs than I do myself, and I appreciate it more than anything. I'd probably cry if she never uploaded again. This girl has some talent, and it'll get her places no doubt.

nikki is has a rare type of personality. she is so brimming with thoughtfullness and caring i cannot but wish one day to be like her. her photos speak in such detail. they are quiet, but still heard. soft, but intense upon meaning. i feel so inspired everytime i look at her stream. i'm pretty sure i've favorited %90 of her photos. i would have favorited the other %10 but that might have seemed a little creepy. well, i would just like to say thank-you, because without you, nikki, i probably would have quit in the beginning.

nikki is like a mad scientist.. who stays in his laboratory for a large amount of time cooking up something really amazing. however, it takes him a while to unveil his final result.. but you always know the turn out is going to be the work of a master mind.
