I remember it was January 2016, one of the coldest days that year where my photographer friend Daryl @daryloharephotography and I took a walk on Big Creek Greenway where I had my first photography lesson,. Daryl insisted on capturing my image so I reluctantly agreed so she gets credit and so much more in introducing me to my new found passion with the camera

There's a line that one must respect as a photographer. A line that, if crossed, disrupts your ability to authentically document and tell the story without influencing the subject. But life decisions like whether to cross the line, unlike my photographs, are never completely Black & White.

Ever happened to be in the right place at the exact right time? Much of it comes down to serendipity, but if you don't have a "present" mindset then you'll miss these moments 100% of the time.
