Anonymous asked: I am sure you get this all the time... but how does it feel to be so incredibly amazing!? Your art, your beauty, your story, your journey through it all - the list goes on and the story will never end and I am lucky, honored and privileged to know you and call you friend. Maria, keep aiming for the moon - you already swim amongst the stars! XOXO - E.D.S.
Wow, I wish you weren’t anon so that I could give you a real “thank you” for all your kind words. Only lately have I been able to really open myself up to life….it’s been a very slow process, but I’m trying to embrace it all. Everyone has a unique story and if I knew who you were I’d give you a big hug.

My Visual Diary: Fall/Winter Portraits, 2012.
So it seems I may have fallen in love with my camera all over again…..and it is with me every where I go. I’m also entering a new chapter in my life thanks to my best friend: I am excited, fearless and inspired. I don’t know where my life is going…..I don’t know what I’ll be making….but it is happening, right now.
