My final image is of my younger cousin who I consider a sibling. It's one of the only photos that I was actually able to process where he’s not moving because he’s so energetic and full of life. I now realize the saying time flies by when you’re having fun is very much accurate. He was born right in the beginning of the pandemic and he’s almost 3 now. My goal after youth and focus is to gain more confidence to take candid photos. I'm usually a little bit hesitant when I take candid photos because I need to find the right environment where I feel comfortable and where I think others might be comfortable to have their photos taken. I have discovered my love for this community and photography. I enjoy being in a space where I feel like I am given the freedom and the space to be creative. I’m grateful for my subject, which is my cousin Zuriel, the space/classroom where I’m able to connect with the peers and staff.
