Gabriela Crisand – Mannheim, Germany

Photography became my passion when my father gifted me my first camera on my 12th Birthday.  A gift for life! Since then, surrounded by beauty.  The camera is an essential part and constant companion through my life, as a student, journalist, a mother,  and traveller.

 

Photography stimulates fantasy, where an impression is not captured but unfolds on its own:

 

The photo op looks for the photographer,

Beauty mirrored, held for an enchanted moment,

Fleeting, all subject to change

Looking into unfamiliar souls,

Finding completion in complexity 

Depicted as awareness

Of the small in the large

And the large in the small

Grateful to share this joy

Go, and look with your heart
