Denver Transplants

I met a charming and talented young lady this week — Zena Ballas — who is working on a project called "Denver Transplants".  She is documenting people who move to Denver for a variety of reasons and telling their stories through photography and text.  I was honored to be the second person she photographed and I will be visiting her Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/denverplants/   often to connect with other "transplants".

She was filmed by Channel 9 News so look for more about her story soon.

One funny thing.  She asked me to bring a plant to our photography session.  A plant?  I'm from Manhattan — the land of concrete.  I work in RiNo — another land of concrete.  I have no house plants.  I'm a city girl.  But my husband buys me a dozen roses every week (long story!) so I brought some baby breath and some leaves from my last bouquet.

I thought Zena did a terrific job with the composition and not showing all my wrinkles.  A talented photographer for sure!  You can visit her website at  https://zenasphocus.com/
She's looking for a new job (she has many skills!) since she herself is a recent transplant so if you know of an opportunity, please contact her.  We all need to network to help each other.
