Purity

You think capturing sunsets are beautiful? Try when it snows. Nature is at its best when snowflakes drop on branches, rocks and pavements. Creating a heavenly scenery.
I guess by now you have figured out my euphoria when we had the “Blizzard”. And I do speak for other photographers besides myself.
“Shooting”( a term commonly used by photographers) when it snows or in areas that is covered with snow, creates a scenic atmosphere. Which allows you to be more creative with your images and creates illusions. With that being said I have included a few of my breathing moments.

Soul Searching

Hey guys. As you’ve read in my last post, sunset and clouds are what really made me fall in love with photography. I have included a few of the images that captured my heart when I just started out.

A fire ignited within her soul, subconsciously, was it the way the shutter button went off? Or was it the breathtaking sunset? Grand Anse Grenada W.I. 5:42pm

As she looked up to the sky, she became breathless. There it was again, that ignition. This time it was the variety of clouds that took her breath way. Circular Drive, Grenada W.I.  4:15pm

As the years past by, she kept on searching. Searching for something she thought was unreachable. And then it happened again, her perspective changed completely. she fell in love with sunset. I love you sunset! Manhattan Beach, NY. 4:40pm

Weekend Excursions

“A picture is worth a thousand words.”  Life begins when you start exploring.  It has changed my perspective on life.


Hi new friends.  My name is Konyca Francis.  I am a Liberal Arts and Electromechanical Engineering major.  Over the past eight years I have been capturing breathtaking images.

Initially, I took pictures because I was fascinated by the variety of clouds, and was drawn to the different shapes and objects.  I was amazed by the dynamic range of colors that appeared, three minutes after the sun disappeared beyond the horizon.  However I never displayed my work because I was too reserved.

A turning point occurred, when I attended a photography exhibition.  While there, I received excellent advice.  Instantly, my confidence was boosted.  I became inspired!

I plan on exhibiting my talent.  Through photography, I will take you along many adventures.  With that being said, take a journey with me on this weeks feature, “Weekend Excursions.”
