25 minutes, 10 seconds
On November 2nd at 9:18pm my daughter was born. This photograph was taken 25 minutes and 10 seconds after her first breathe. It's almost impossible to describe the feeling of photographing her first few moments.

SpaceX successfully launched and deployed their heaviest payload, the Telstar 18 VANTAGE, aboard the Falcon 9. This was the view from the Cocoa Beach Pier. Rocket launches along the space coast happen very often but for Riley, left side of the frame, it was his first. He traveled from Kansas along with his father to view their first rocket launch in person. Moments like these are what inspire future generations to explore and achieve extraordinary feats.
Maiden Voyage
This is what 5 million pounds of thrust looks like. SpaceX and Elon Musk launched the Falcon Heavy for the very first time today carrying a Tesla Roadster headed towards Mars.
Vigil
Dear Future Generations, learn from our mistakes. We hold vigils for victims of incomprehensible tragedies. We hold vigils for victims of racism and bigotry. We hold vigils for victims of violence, terrorism, and war. We hold vigils during our darkest times. Learn from our mistakes, work together, treat people with dignity and respect, understand how precious life and our environment really is. This photograph was taken in Orlando at the Pulse Vigil, 1 day after 49 innocent lives were lost.
The Boneyard
We drove two and a half hours through the night and hiked a trail filled with spiders with only a small flashlight to visit the epic Boneyard. The Boneyard is a secluded beach, lined with massive trees that have fallen over due to beach erosion. After the trees have fallen, they start to turn white and began to look like skeletons. The beach is only accessible during low tide but during a high tide, some of the debris gets dragged into the shallow water.
Florida Sunset
Wildlife is one of my favorite subjects to photograph along with landscapes and street photography. Each of those areas have unique aspects such as colors, movement, detail, etc. What I loved about taking this photo was that I could incorporate all of these elements into a single shot. The swan, a miniature landscape in the bird's eye, the detail of the water, and the color of the beak against the white feathers.
