About Debra Gaines
My purpose is to capture and honor the beauty, awe, and wonder of our world; and to be physically immersed in it whenever possible. My images are meant to evoke a sense of responsibility, a deeper sense of self, to enlighten one’s soul and to make one aware of and connect to others. In 2011 I photographed the Occupy Wall Street encampment in NYC for that soul purpose. Those images may be viewed here. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design’s Digital Photography Program, I also hold a B.A. in Criminal Justice & a B.A in Mass. Communications.
