​Over time, I have been photographing for many years.  One of the many important reasons that led to continue this practice, is the land I grew up on.  As I continue to understand more about my communities on the Navajo Nation, I always take in the moments to see what is around me and what I was taught to be appreciative of. My grandmothers always told me to be thankful for every sunrise and sunset. These photographs that I took over the past 2 years are photographs that represent where I came from and my perspectives of the places I go to when I come home.
