The Gaze That Stopped Me

When I captured the image of this little girl, I knew I had something special. She is two or three years old—already a magician. She stopped time with her gaze: unapologetic in the moment, traveling through the now and the future. From child to woman and back again; an immortal soul.

People often tell me I’m wonderful with children. But really, children are wonderful. They live in the moment—but more than that, they know what they want, and they follow it. I just follow their dreams with them.

As we grow, the noise in our minds grows too. But when that noise quiets down, something else happens: we travel back to the child we once were—and return to the present as the woman we’ve become.

That is the gaze that stops me.

The one that dissolves time and space.
Where past and future collapse.
Where what remains is soul—unfiltered, present, whole.

Photography, in that sense, is a kind of time travel.
It documents a life, yes—but it also reveals something eternal.
It shows us our immortal selves.

I started capturing images at the age of 11.
Little did I know the road it would open—a path I’m still traveling, 41 years later.
