Did you know 2026 is year of the horse? I would like to share some of my goals with you this year-my photography brand will be changing to align more with my purpose (thank you SDAI for your help on this), I will be sharing more about a project I have been working on for the last 7 years (warning, I might lose some followers because of this. My hope in sharing this project with you all is a greater sense of curiosity, myself included), sharing more storytelling alongside my photographs, and sharing more travel tips. Which one of these interests you the most? Would love to hear your thoughts.
On that note, the story behind these photographs. The photo of the horse was taken in the Republic of Georgia (the country 🇬🇪, not the state). My husband and I got to talk to a local Georgian man where the Russian Georgian Friendship Monument stands. He told us the history of Georgia, he said if it weren’t for the Russians, Georgia could have ended up Ottoman. Yet on the same note, Russia has taken over Georgian land the last two centuries, today they occupy around 20 percent. In 1991-1993 and in 2008 this occupation resulted in violence, death and refugees (photo two at the Stalin Museum).
