Photography by Denise Vasquez ©2021 I just got home from venturing to 8 National Parks in 8 days! Amazing right!?! It sure was. WOW! What a whirlwind! Like the saying goes "Time flies when you're having fun"! Not only did I see these parks, but I managed to do some mini-shoot photo sessions, see friends, hike, visit some Pueblos, fun roadside attractions and movie locations! Planing ahead and being very organized certainly helped make the trip go smoothly for the most part. W

I’ve always seen the UNITY in commUNITY, which is part of the reason I’ve always loved sharing the mic, the stage, and the spotlight. The first time I was on stage was at the age of 4. Throughout my life, I’ve faced my own challenges being a Puerto Rican woman working in the entertainment industry getting booked as an artist (dancer, model, actress, singer, songwriter, guitarist, standup comedian...). It was so bad, I even used a stage name for a short period of time (Denise

The fact that a person sitting in a #wheelchair is the International #Symbol of #Accessibility should make it clear, that a wheelchair gives a #disabled person like me #Access! The definition of a wheelchair under the ADA is as follows: "A wheelchair is a manually operated or power-driven device designed primarily for use by an individual with a mobility #disability for the main purpose of indoor, or of both indoor and outdoor locomotion. Individuals with #mobility disabiliti

#Traveling on the road takes a lot of #planning, especially being a #disabled #photographer.

Sometimes I use my wheelchair and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I use my rolling walker and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I use my walking sticks and sometimes I don't. Not going to explain my disability. Not all disabilities are the same. Not all disabilities are visible. *If you'd like to make a contribution to The Disabled Photographer Project, you can help support the project by making a donation Here The project is also currently seeking partnerships, sponsors, grants, and

I’ve been personally dealing with the #challenges #disabled people constantly have to face when #venturing #outdoors for many years now. It takes a lot of #research to find out where the #ADA #accessible #places are. I hope that someday our #society (#parks, #banks, #stores, #airplanes, #housing...) will not only comply by the ADA #Law, but #respect, #acknowledge & #include disabled people when making #decisions that pertain to #accessibility. Every #disability is unique and

#Photography by Denise Vasquez ©2021 When I first moved to San Diego #California back in 2017, I had no idea we had a #National #Monument here. I learned about Cabrillo National Monument while doing #research on the internet, seeking #parks nearby. The National Park Service now has an #app that lists the parks, what to see, things to do, amenities, park news, #wheelchair #accessible #locations and more! I noticed that some areas are listed on the app as being wheelchair acces
