Abuelita
There is a strange tenderness in loving someone while knowing time is quietly carrying them away.
Abuelita is an ongoing Polaroid series exploring love, aging, mortality, and the fragile beauty of being alive. As I photograph my grandmother during the final chapter of her life, I am reminded that every ordinary moment is, in its own way, extraordinary. One day these photographs may become memories of a life deeply loved. Until then, they are simply my way of saying, “I was here with you.”
Uncle Dani
Photographed in the aftermath of my uncle’s sudden death, this series explores grief before it has words. Through Polaroids, I document the quiet moments of mourning, remembrance, and the profound human experience of loving someone whose absence arrived far too soon.
Marcos Daniel “Dani” Miranda, of Cape Coral, Florida, passed away on November 1, 2025, at the age of 54. He was born in 1971 in Puerto Rico.
Dani was an exceptionally talented guitarist who composed and recorded his own music, leaving behind melodies that beautifully reflected his creative spirit and depth of feeling. He found joy and peace on the water, often spending time exploring on his jet ski beneath the Florida sun.
A lifelong seeker, Dani loved to explore spiritual and philosophical ideas and could spend hours in deep, meaningful conversations that inspired those around him. He had a wonderful sense of humor, a radiant presence, and a smile that could light up any room.
He is survived by his loving mother, Samia Rodriguez, and his devoted sister, Elizabeth Miranda.
Dani’s presence will be deeply missed, but his music, laughter, and light will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
