Welp, I found my photos used in a publication w/o my knowledge or consent, one of my favorite journalism professors passed away today (f*ck cancer), & I have to replace my windshield b/c of a foul ball. So I need to pick up some work! Hire me for your writing or photography needs or buy a print! TIA
