"To Be Free" by Aaron | Wildlife Safari

Whenever I look at this picture of this majestic bird I think about how the eagles live their lives. Independent and fierce creatures, they hunt and fear nothing. They have nothing that hunts them, they live comfortably at the top of the food chain. I think it's amazing how this bird lives its life every day. They don't fly in flocks or hunt in packs, they live their life free of anybody telling them what to do. They don't let anything dictate their behavior. I think I admire the eagle so much because someday I want to be free of people telling me what to do and how to live my life. Someday I want to be free of stress and only worry about the present. I want to live my life day by day, and most of all I want to live a healthy life."

About Aaron: "Hey my name is Aaron. I've struggled in the past with drug use and getting along with my family, which has brought me to NWP. The reason I love photography so much isn't just because I'm able to express myself freely, it's mainly because I can be who I want to be through my pictures. I love being able to show my family or friends all of the pictures I've taken through the week. I like to be able to take pictures of anything I can, especially in nature, because nature is absolutely beautiful. Photography is something I'm definitely going to use for the rest of my life because not only does it tie in perfectly with my hobbies and interests, it can be a healthy way to express myself."
