The beautiful fall colors. Trick or treating. The crisp morning air.
There’s just so much to love about fall.

In a softcover book sits quietly my best images from my short time as a photojournalist. Two years of work trimmed down to 12 singles, 1 essay and 1 photo story. 74 pages of self-doubt, confidence, and passion all colliding in hopes of finding a home among the piles and piles of other applicants all chasing the same thing.
It will undoubtedly be another year of rejection letters with the hope of one editor seeing a glimmer of potential and a spark of passion.
As for the rejection letters? They make for a great source of inspiration.
