Diamonds in the Grass

By Zenda Vecchio

I don't take photographs. Or paint. Instead I use words as my medium – my way of capturing what I see and turning it into something meaningful. My hope is that the reader too will be able to see what I have seen, feel what I have felt. This is of course the essence of communication.
