Cora Wandel
Profile
City: Washington, d.c.
Country: United States
I am both a writer and a photographer, so a lot of my photographs contain writing of some form, it could be a short story or a personal reflection of what the photograph means to me, or the factual history behind the photograph.
I am one of the founders of the group ImageWriting. If you enjoy putting words to your work of art, please join us.
My profile photograph is revealing for it is a self-photograph taken shortly after changing my gender from male to female in September 2007.
Sunrise in the Mist is a favorite photograph of mine. I will change this occasionally to show other favorite photographs.
