America's Favorite Photos · Exposure Grant
LaceyJaye Mik
I live in rural Maine and I just can’t help but be inspired by the world around me. Agricultural and nature photography are my passion. I love to capture moments, not create manufactured memories. None of my photos are retouched. I am currently studying graphic design.

I love where I live. The agricultural environment and the beauty of the countryside spurred by mountain horizons. I’m disabled due to fibromyalgia. I am a full time student at Central Maine Community College in Auburn, Maine, through the vocational rehab program. Winning this grant would allow me to update my computer and help me as I move forward in pursuit of creating a career that will allow me to work for myself giving me the opportunity to work with my chronic pain rather than trying to work around it. I want to reenter the working world so I can get myself out of poverty. Thank you for your consideration.
