Sharon Mau blogspot Natural Impressions

For me, a photograph is a mystical portal through which one may experience another’s vision

I have a great passion for powerful and intriguing artistic expression; those special shots that capture your heart and imagination and pull you in to the image, so I wish everything to have meaning and impact.

It is endlessly fascinating how one photo stands alone as a work of art, with some revealing exquisite surprises. Many times something not quite immediately evident, on a conscious level, will draw my eye, and only later when the image is captured and upon closer examination is the mystery and magic revealed.

Intrigued by the many cultures of the world with much travel and exploration, I find language fascinating. I am a professional photographer and a student of culture and linguistics.

I enjoy exploring the earth, studying languages, history, word origins and culture, as well as many other subjects of interest. People truly fascinate me. I believe life is too brief to be confined to a routine way of life. Years flash by. Every day is a gift and I believe we create our own reality. Happiness is a choice.

Aloha e Malama pono,

“In the silence, I turn to you.
My inner heart, my inner mind knows the truth
I am whole, complete in every way
I am love, greeting all I meet with open arms
I am silence, rich with simplicity
In the silence, I remember these words:
Let all who come to me feel my spirit touching their soul
I Am Who I Am
I am the light of peace.
I am the breath of Spirit.
I am the strength of a thousand horses.
I am the courage of a new day.
I am the love of a child.
I am who I am.” ~ Journey with Spirit
