IIn August 2012, photographer and writer Tasra Dawson visited Paris, France to celebrate ten years of marriage to her filmmaker husband Ron. It was a life-long dream for Tasra to visit the city of lights. It was an opportunity for her to explore her creativity, stretch her wings as an artist, and connect with people and the environment in a most authentic way. On the journey of self-discovery, her passion was reinvigorated.
Along the way, Ron documented Tasra’s journey so that he could create a short series of mini-docs about the trip and Tasra’s personal adventure. “Tasra’s Journey” is the first of the film series.
But more than that, it is an expression of love from Ron to his wife. A 2012 Christmas gift and an opportunity to share how beautiful he sees her. It was a rare and special period of time for Ron to be allowed to get that much footage of his wife (who prefers to be behind the camera rather than in front).
May it also be an inspiration to all artists out there who have ever feared they wouldn’t be good enough.
