description: In one of my trips to Mexico I encountered a strong and determined woman who without knowing taught me a lesson that will stay with me for life. Her name is Petrita. She is an old woman who has lost track of her age and also time. In a remote location, miles away from anything lives Petrita. She constructed what at first sight seems like a pile of brush and rocks, but in reality it is her home. She has no electricity, gas, or running water, yet she lives her life with passion. Before meeting her, I, like many others was caught in the unending search for happiness. At the time I believed happiness was measured by how much one possessed. Petrita has no material belongings yet her eyes reflect peace and satisfaction. She has a permanent and genuine smile on her face and lives her life to the fullest. Through amazing photographs I was able to capture a typical day in Petrita's life, her everyday struggles and small triumphs. I'm sure my story will impact you and your child as much as it has impacted me.
