I took sunrise photographs at Ruakaka Beach, where a solitary woman standing in the light inspired me. Her presence became a symbol of resilience and quiet strength, reflecting the struggle and growth within a man’s world. This image inspired the song “Made of Stars”, which I’ve included here as a link. Together, the photograph and the music honor and praise the endurance, courage, and dignity of those who rise above challenges. It is a recognition of their strength, a tribute to the light they carry, and a reminder that even in solitude, we are never alone in our journey. https://soundcloud.com/jcphotoprints1/made_of_stars_2_neume-io/s-PKF8XmplYE5?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing&si=a91613eacbac44d49f0dccd6da41945a
