SHINE!

This is the first post of my photo blog celebrating members of the Kent Community who SHINE.

There are people who seem to SHINE. Have you noticed them? They are doing amazing things in our community.

Whenever I try to describe them, I always end up saying that they are shiny. This photo blog is for them. It is to celebrate them and encourage all of us to be more shiny.

One of my favorite magazines, NEED Magazine, describes their effort as "we are not trying to save the world but to tell the stories of those who are." That is what I do as a photojournalist. I love sharing stories of people who are making a big difference in the lives of others.
