ST. LOUIS – Transitions are hard. Really hard. Recently, I feel like my life has recently been chaulk-full of transitions – the end of my undergradute career, working an internship, trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life while attempting to find some post-graduation stability. As a photojournalist you capture times of joy and times of sorrow in the rollercoaster of life. Photojournalists must have resiliance, patience, respect and empathy. Being able to tell someone's story – what they have personally have lived – is a privelege and an honor. While I may not know what lies ahead in my future, I can always count on connecting with my community, talking less and listening more and continuing to make photographs with my heart. Here's a glimpse into life around the region this past month as told through my lens for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
