Inside Ellis Island immigration building, I took this photo during our short trip to visit my husband’s brother and his family in New Jersey last month. Upon arrival to the island, history radiates and it seemed like we were drawn to the past specially while listening to the audio tour narrating details of what happened years ago. I think I had the same feeling when I visited the island of Corregidor in the Philippines. But that time, I was only around 8 or 9 years old. Both islands are rich in culture and history.

Using my Nikon SLR camera, I focused on getting the natural light into the immigration building while capturing a sharp image of Lady Liberty from the other island.
