About Me

New York City
My name is Sara. I am 25 years old. I have been living, working, and enjoying this big beautiful city of New York for the past four years. I work full time in Finance, but I use creative outlets to stay sane. I paint, draw, and I recently purchased my first SLR: The D90. I am an amateur photographer, but I am hoping the camera can make up for that gap. For now the hobby is more about capturing the composition that is life than being a perfectionist. So please excuse me if I am ever out of focus or overexposed! Photos coming soon. I am also a total animal lover riding horses since I was 7, and rescuing any cat and I could get my hands on. I also love to travel, meet new people, and try new things. There are endless places I want to visit, and my goal is to live abroad some day soon. I feel fortunate to have a supportive family, and so lucky to have a boyfriend, best friend, and roommate, all in one.

The Hummingbird

Ok, so you may have heard a hummingbird can drink nectar from flowers, fly 34 miles per hour, flap its wings up to 90 times per second, fly backwards, hover, or stop in an instant.  But have you ever thought about their charm that goes beyond their physical beauty?  That is what has inspired me to today.  Hummingbirds can remind us that seemingly small ideas and concepts can possess great potential and power.  It has been said before that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying out hopes for peace, love, joy, and celebration.  And that the Hummingbird is actually the sun in disguise who is trying to win the love of a beautiful woman, the moon.  Others believe hummingbirds are fierce warriors, as they defend their territory from other hummingbirds.  To me they represent a blend of these virtues - bravery, grace, love, and happiness - and if you are ever to come across such a lovely creature let yourself be reminded of these meanings of life.
