## Caption

This photo is a nod to the 2015 @howlaophotography for NOT being able to get up close to the action. 😉 Literally at Pepsi 2015 after my race I was on the fence, being blocked by other photographers shooting with a small camera and in freaking auto mode 💩🙈 when I said "hmm next year I'm going to be out there with the pros!" and hey, it came true! 
With the marking of the Pepsi Invite, I can finally say "I've been shooting for a little over a year". And though I'm farrrrr farrrrr (did I say far) from where I want to be, It's nice and important to reflect on what went well and what didn't so I can improve even more. Strengths and weaknesses. The athletic background gives me an unique eye (not to mention my drive) but I can really work on post editing for the finishing touches of my photos.

Shoutout to all the friends, family, followers for the support, and a BIG 👏👏👏 for all the other photographers teaching me a thing or two. I remember all your comments and I hold them close because one day I want to be like you! (Give these guys a look and follow, they are legit)
