I will stand for hours even when my body aches and cries for me to get off hard ground, slip the camera bag off, and the camera and take a break. I put my all into covering events even when they are new because I want to surprise everyone with my images and surprise myself.

Yes, we celebrated the wins, but he ripped the bandaid off teaching us to take critiques with grace and to seek out learning opportunities while putting ourselves out there for whatever the outcome maybe.
