12 years ago, I made a huge life decision and left Connecticut for Atlanta. After graduating college, I felt it was best to take the freelance photographer route instead of a corporate job in CT. 12 years later, I have been through so many ups and downs. I have dealt with death, break ups, Covid 19, and plenty of job changes. Through out it all, I continue to take pictures, I continue to seek the beauty in life. That is why I took this photo at Sweetwater Creek State Park in Georgia. This photo represents the reality that "When I have my camera on my side, I am ready for whatever!".
