Becoming a successful fine art photographer is a hard and challenging path. Despite the length of this list, please know that there were days full of setbacks and seemingly insurmountable challenges. Below captures the good days where it all came together. The goal is to keep learning, adapting, making it happen. For those who have supported me...thank you!
