Secret number four:
I'm not as bad as I think I am. Meaning, for all the bitching and moaning I do about how imperfect I am, I have a good heart. I'm a good person. Sometimes, that's all that matters.
I guess you're right Alex. It's not really a secret. But it always surprises me when I come to this realization.

tatmaker: wasn't this a herbie hancock video?
His bucket had 65 pounds of weights. Hers had 45. They were hauling them up one of the steepest streets in Los Angeles. On purpose.

My story as a photographer started when i was still a child, however it was not until I was a teenager, in an time when we grew up surrounded by the early years of large-scale Internet, that this passion took shape, along with accessibility to photography, digital cameras and a whole new world of possibilities.
It was in the early years of the 2000s, and also in the new century, that I began to tell stories and dreams in the form of self-portraits, still far from the era of "selfies". At that time doing self-portraiture through photography was to me the modernized version of what great painters had already done for centuries. It was also the way I had to have a creative outlet, a way to materialize how much I had to tell and show the world. Art was always there and the step into photography was as natural as possible.
For years that's what I dedicated myself to before realizing that this was my true calling, passion or whatever you want to call it, and with life, college and work I stopped creating it so naturally, relaxed and in a conceptual way.
The year 2017 brought me a group of women, photographers and friends, who gave me a group of support, friendship, exchange of ideas about art, photography and so much more. In 2018 we decided to go back to doing what was for many of us the beginning in this area and to return to the self-portraiture, more or less creatively, photographing every week, with a theme, for a whole year.
So it will be 52 weeks of images or so we hope for. You can follow each one of the girls and their project, through their Flickr, their sites, their social media or all of us within the hashtag #52sisterhood
