About Dan Prokopowicz

Profile

I am the kind of girl who will jump right into the puddle, because I am not afraid to get my feet wet. I have a sense for life’s little details, the ones hidden in shadows and highlights and need a keen eye to coax them out. Those details keep me on the go. I am always seeking new sights and feelings, which is probably why I love to travel, and photography offers me the best possible way to explore my passion for life. I am quick to laugh and I am fast on my feet. I will share my photography over tea and eggs benny any day
