My name is Nicole and my daddy named me. I know greatly that Abba named me through my biological dad. I was abandoned by my earthly parent, but not by GOD. This is very important to share, for I embrace my name and its meaning. My name means victorious heart, spirit, Victory of the people. I love and cherish my name. I was adopted at a young age and my parents traveled a lot and I was in 38 states by the time I was 38 months of age. I have been to ever so many places, from the everglades to the redwood forests. Growing up, I loved to plant seeds and watch them grow. I loved to play with lots of insects and just had fun in the yard and garden. I made it into high school and learned that I had to have so many credits to graduate, and so just was clueless of what electives to take, but chose photography, for no apparent reason. I then started going to track meets and other sport events, just to fulfill assignments given to me by my photography teacher. He said to me, that he wanted me to put my photography in the county fair, and so just to make him happy I did. I was astounded for I won for each item that I submitted. I graduated later that year which was 1976. Less than a year passed, and I then was saved in 77, and got married in 1979. I gave birth to 3 boys (now adults), and at the turn of our century. I got a Canon AE-1 camera, then soon afterwards, bought a little digital camera. It was fun, and after about a year, friends, family, and even some unknown people commented on my photography, even to the point of threatening me, that I must sell it. After about a year, finally, just to get everyone to leave me alone, I went to Earth Day, here in San Diego, and set up a little booth, and made close to $250. So, the career began. I have gotten into several stores around our county, sold in several states nationwide and now have a book out full of my work. Hundreds of images to choose from, and most of my work is creation. The book is entitled The Earth Declares`; and is full of photography of how our planet declares OUR FATHERS GLORY! In conclusion, I now offer: greeting cards, matted images, as well as my book. GOD BLESS YOU............. Shalom Nicole N. Ramirez
