Street photography has become Kay Erickson’s passion. To her, it’s much like being an explorer, looking for unique lighting, and different compositions that will hopefully make the viewer lean in to see what is really going on in the photograph. Through her travels, Kay is able to capture images of people and places in local communities around the world. Through these images, she hopes to convey the humanity that we all share, and in the process, hopefully eliminate some of the present stereotypes that are contributing to worldwide unrest. Kay is particularly drawn to places like Mao’s Kitchen in Venice, California, where ocean light shapes her observations.
