2. Please share your inspiration for this piece.
This curved pathway reflects the many travels my family and I have taken and the cultural riches we have gained because of that.
I captured this shot on a visit with my children to the castle while living in Belgium. We were the only visitors there at the time so we had ample room and time to explore.
I love how the shadows enhance the curve of the path. Looking at this photo always brings back the feel of the old sunken brick and the thought of so much history passing under my feet.
But this pathway is appealing even if you have never been to this castle. The red brick is both a rich color yet earthy and neutral creating a fitting accent piece many rooms.
3. What keywords describe your work?
colorful travel photography, cultural impressions, wanderlust
4. Is this your favorite medium? Do you work in other mediums?
Yes, photography is my favorite, but I also enjoy other graphic art such as word art, typography.
5. What fascinates you?
Cultures, people around the world and how they make their lives meaningful. The natural world and how we take part in it.
