Hello, Wall Street Journal

As a young news photographer, having your work published by a large publication is beyond awesome. Last week I was published by The Wall Street Journal. They were doing a piece on the National Soccer Hall of Fame closing and used two of my photos to illustrate the piece.


Not gonna lie, I was pretty excited for this. I allowed myself 10 minutes to freak out and do a couple fist pumps in the car before this happened...



and then I got back to work. But it's moments like this, the feeling of personal and professional achievement that makes this line of work addictive. The highs are really high and the lows can be very low (like crack, but safer).

Combines:

- moving

- kittens

- heat wave

- job interviews

- car woes

- saving

- a (welcome) sunburn

I’m sure if you could look inside my head right now, you would see something that resembled a Robert Rauschenberg painting.

ah, the messy dysfunctional gap between art and life
