My name is Sarai. I've always been in to photography, but I hadn't actually started taking pictures until the mid of 2007. I am self taught.
Photography is my new found passion and obsession. I think about it ALL the time. I can't seem to get enough of it. I feel that it helps me to get away from everything. But at the same time it also excites me, it gives me an opportunity to express myself in a different way. It opens up a portal through which I can portray all my emotions and thoughts. And more importantly, it gives me a way to honor the memory of my brother Ismael who I love and miss dearly.
I'm a very easy going person. I'm very silly and I laugh a lot. I believe in treating others as I'd like to be treated, so I'll always treat you with respect. I'm interested in all kinds of art forms. I love reading. I speak both English and Spanish, so feel free to speak in either one.
Para todos aquellos que solo hablan Espanol, sientanse libres de usar solo Espanol conmigo. Es mi primer idioma. :)
I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me. All of them, family and friends, you guys know who you are. I love you guys.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)
Unfortunately, I have to add this. If you don't have any photos available for viewing, belong to too many creepy groups, faves are all of children or your photostream has pornographic images I will block you.
Do NOT use any of my images without my written permission.
Some of my manipulations are available for prints but through Deviantart.com only. If you're interested, please click here.

I've been meaning to write a testimonial for Sarai for soh long, but never really got around to writing it..Anyhow here goes! :) Sarai is one of the most generous, compassionate and sweet people I’ve come across on flickr. She is a beautiful person with a gift from God; to connect with people with her empathetic approach or a thoughtful gesture. Her gentle personality shines through her photography/ Digital art. And “Modesty” should be her nick name! :) I admire her not only for her amazing talent but also for her unprecedented persona. She is a fighter. She is someone who knows how to face her fears even if that means by taking baby steps. I don’t know her personally but this is what I see her as when I sail through her gorgeous photo-stream. Sarai, I wish you all the best for future endeavors and want you to know that you’re a gem of person and then a photographer who just makes everybodys’ day by her lovely photography & digital art! Keep smiling and rocking flickr! \m/ :)

Sarai quickly has become one of my favorite flickr contacts to follow. She has improved so much in such a short time that it's hard to believe ;) Seems like her talent has no limits, she does amazing people and portrait as well as bokeh shots. Lately she has started doing photo manipulations and I'm such a huge fan of her work, it's inspiring and thoughtful. She is also providing free textures and brushes that are so pretty and useful for many many people including me :) Thanks for that!!! But she's not only a great artist, she is a warmhearted, loyal and adorable person. I am so glad that I've found her here on Flickr. It almost feels like we are friends although we are an ocean apart (how cheesy *lol*). Seriously, I love you girl! You rock!!! Keep up the great work Love, Sunny

You have made me want to try them... so expect emails begging for advice. :) Also, thank you for your constant support and friendship, you make this a better place for me and no-doubt hundreds and thousands of others. One request, no more cutlery on Friday 13th please. :-D Much love, Claire xoxo
Read lessSarai is one of the few who consistently inspires me to do better. Seeing the images she creates drives me to look again at what opportunities I may have missed in my own search. Inspriational is not really strong enough a word. Natural talent indeed :) Love, Martha
this girl's manipulations are fabulous. end of story. and her creativity is astounding. I look forward to seeing what ever else you decide to do. keep up the awesome work, Sarai
Sarai is such a talented photographer... whether it's portraits, nature shots, or - as she's explored lately - digital manipulations... she always shares such gorgeous pieces of art! Above all this, Sarai is a beautiful and warm person. I'm so glad we're Flickr friends!
Sarai's manipulations make a photographer dream! I truly hope she continues to look inside her dreams and create gorgeous ART for us to be smitten with.
Hm Sarai.... A beautiful woman inside and out. She always leaves me the best comments and she is really sweet. Keep flickring girl...we need your kinda talent on here :)

I'm writing this because Sarai paid me to err well not really she's broke. :`( Firstly I want to say, sincerity is a rare treasure that you want to hold on to tightly if you so happen to find it amidst the sea of pretence. Her intent, passion & creativity resonates powerfully through her work delving from the bottom of her heart. Sarai, I know you will find the strength to face those demons that are in your life. If nothing else, remember this. "When all is said and done, more is said than done." and this "Nothing is impossible, Impossible is nothing."
Read lessSarai is a special person and gifted artist. She has the talent to take pictures with the heart, not only with eyes. In every picture of her you can feel emotions and a deep passion for the world. I love being one of her friends and having Sarai like one of my favourite!
Sarai tends to leave me completely spellbound and in awe. her photographs are sort of like a waking dream, a life in which i just want to continually delve into and hold my breath thankfully. Absolutely talented, in so many more ways than the lens of a camera.
her photos are absolutely gorgeous and dreamy. they take me to another land that i can explore and amaze at. i am soo looking forward to seeing her future photos!
Sarai , my sweet friend, she is a wonderful photographer, very talented and creative. Her bokeh shots are so cool and surprise me every time. I am so glad to be her friend.
Sarai is amazing! She's the nicest person you'll ever meet, ever, and she's a GREAT photographer. She can turn anything into a piece of art. I wish I could think of more to say... but there just aren't enough words to describe her wonderfulness. Just remember her name, because one day everybody in the world will know i… Read more
