For Sophie L. Meunier, every drop counts.As a budding photographer, Meunier believes if small intentions are combined, a huge difference is made.
The 30-year-old Long Beach resident puts that belief into practice with her debut photography exhibit, "Every. Drop. Counts.," which opens at Hot Java coffeehouse 6 tonight with an artist reception. It will be on display through March 5.
The show contains 18 pieces printed on metal in two series, "Every. Drop. Counts." and "The Artist, Ocean."
For the ocean series, Meunier, who was inspired by daily walks along the beach and beach clean-ups in Long Beach, wanted to show the ocean in a different way, she says.
"My goal was to get a different approach and not simply a shot of the beach, but the nuances of colors and reflections that take place in the ocean itself," Meunier says. "This is in a certain way, the ocean's own magic."

In the "Every Drop Counts" series, she experiments with lighting and
reflections to create innovative, vibrant and colorful vision of
transparent water. As a result, she enhances the majesty of this liquid.Originally from France, Meunier moved to Long Beach a few years ago and plans to enroll in journalism at a local university.
Apart from environmental images, Meunier has photographed architecture (The Getty Museum), nature and landscapes (The Grand Canyon) and street art in San Francisco.
