The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched--they must be felt with the heart.

this is how i have been spending my time. i would LOVE to take photos of aspiring musicians, all the time. but even more than that i would love to be overseas documenting culture and people. But for now, this is good. i had a job taking some family's portraits for Mother's Day and i will taking prom portraits for another family later this month. i feel like such a successful businesswoman! my next ideas are maybe a trip with peacework this summer??? then a photo shoot at this old abandoned barn in pembroke and then some potraits to send to pottery barn. who knows...maybe they will use them. so i have plans and motivation--very exciting!
hi :) i am *currently* working as a counselor in the pulaski county public schools for at-risk middle schoolers. i love my job. i am also a photographer. i shoot weddings, free-lance for the Roanoke Times and whatever else catches my eye . i love (LOVE!!) coffee, eating sushi, taking pictures, the ocean, jazz, Melbourne, Australia and walking around wide-eyed around New York. i also lived in australia for a year and a half. my other favorite places are christchurch, new zealand and santa barbara, CA.
next possible destinations may include: costa rica, hawaii and south africa.
My dream is to teach kids in disadvantaged communities around the world how to document the beauty in their lives through taking pictures. I'd like to compile a book of these photos, curate a gallery and use these profits to help the kids receive education as well as contribute to the needs in their community. (see www.kids-with-cameras.org and www.NYChildren.com--that's my inspiration) check out my photos: www.flickr.com/photos/miriamwalls
