I pride myself on being a person who wears many hats and these photos show me with people and in processes that I love–reading, speaking, and sharing ideas and information about which I am passionate.

Persis’ Photography
This gallery showcases my own amateur photography; it contains photos of people, places, and things I encounter in my daily life on walks, on trips, and in daily interactions in my local community in Berkeley. I believe these pictures speak to my concern with paying attention and noticing beauty and detail of things around me. I hope you enjoy them! If you’d like to use one of my photos, please contact me on my contact page. I ask only that you give me photo credit.
