After work, a co-worker and I decided to go for a walk through Golden Gate Park. To our surprise, there were many people enjoying the sunny day. People lounging around on beach chairs while others were sunbathing on picnic blankets and beach towels. What I noticed was that each individual person would have a good amount of space between the other person. Even though people were out during shelter-in-place they still are able to practice social distance.

Emily Curiel

Emily lives life through a viewfinder. She has a hummingbird superstition and spends most of her down time playing the mobile app game called Two Dots, she’s sort of obsessed. She eats a lot of hamburgers and pets a lot of animals when she can. She’s a sucker for museums, sports, chocolate and anything artsy that’s hands on.

Her career goal, to put it simple, as the great Warren Buffett said, is to find a job that she loves so she doesn’t have to work a day in her life. She wants to be a great photojournalist, who is well-paid, so she may be able to live comfortably with good health insurance. Emily wants to be able to enlighten society in a more positive way through her photographs and storytelling. Dorothea Lange once said, “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” This is what Emily wants to embody and hopes she can do so in the field of journalism.
