Hello there (in obi-wan’s voice),

I hope you all are enjoying the last days of us actually seeing the sun. Not to scare you, but shit is about to get real.

Besides all this drama I create on newsletter, I really want to take a moment and appreciate all of you for all the work you guys do. You all are not just great photographers but GREAT JOURNALISTS in-making!

I’m grateful to have you all! ❤️
