Golden

Essay 596 • Jul 20th 2025

The golden hour is a magical time; light and color swirl together like dancers upon the stage. Capturing these moments of ecstatic rainbow energy and sending them out into the universe to inspire others has always been a goal in my work. Whenever things seem a little darker, focusing on the light and beauty surrounding our world always brings me back to levity - and hopefully brings the same emotion to others as well.
