“Along with the gift of creativity, photography has also been a tool for me to document my Mexican American heritage, cultural events, sports, people and neighborhood moments. It has given me a tool to mentor youth and record the beauty of elders. My photography is a continued passion to create bonds with all walks of life, and photographing simple moments of life.” – Lisa Luevanos
