Meraki - To do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work. I came upon this word tonight, it’s describes exactly how I photograph. I had always dabbled into photography, but really got into astrophotography as a form of self care. The feels I feel under the galaxy and next to the sea are indescribable, it’s hard to put the light and energy exchange into words, but every Milky Way photograph I make has a little piece of my soul imbedded in the metadata. #santacruz #norcalwomenphotographers #milkywaychasers #milkywayphotography #milkyway_nightscapes #nightscaper #nights_dreamworld #astrophotography #dreams #reelsinstagram #california #nikoncreators #nikonnofilter #peakdesigntripod #beautifuldestinations #ig_photooftheday #galaxy
