Water photoshoot






We woke up and started our day—me and my dog. She needed a good walk, and I needed to do my homework. So we decided to go down to the Skagit River in Mount Vernon. We started at the local park, looking over to the barn and the other side of the river, trying to get a good photo. We walked around, and I took tons of photos, only a few stood out to me. Then my dog and I decided to walk to the other side of the river to get some photos from different angles.

While we were walking to the other side, we crossed the bridge. On the bridge, I took a photo I was really impressed with. It was a beautiful bridge with the river and the coastline in the background. The water was moving slowly down the stream, looking so peaceful. I loved the background of buildings, houses, and barns. The bridge itself looked like it had been there for years.

The streets were more often filled with the remnants of human activity than the signs of nature. An occasional dog would wander the alleys. Sometimes, the aftermath of raccoons would leave a trail—scraps of trash scattered across the concrete, a testament to their nocturnal scavenging. Living in a place like this taught me how to hold immense gratitude for nature, unders tanding that the wealthy and middle classes tend to have more access, snow sports and family vacations that I would never experience myself. This motivated me to carve out time and seek out natural beauty, waterfronts and forest days that I prioritized. I feel immense privilege in having transitioned t...
