Sharing a really special moment in my life and be reflecting back on images that mean more to me now than ever before.

This was taken from a 2020 helicopter ride over New York City. This was actually my first ever helicopter ride so I was pretty intimidated to be up in the air let alone to be able to capture anything special. However, this moment here where the sun was setting on the Empire State Building was beautiful and made the building pop in a shadow of darkness below clawing at the base of the building.

Reflecting back on this image as I often do, an important message came to mind. There is darkness surrounding us everywhere as human beings and photographers. The daily pressures clawing at us from below. As photographers, we are constantly in seek of the light in any given moment, so it's important to remind ourselves that in times of personal darkness, we must have that same approach.

Keep your head up, you got this.
