My first time shooting Traction Conf 2018 and it was the opening reception, no less! What a fantastic culture of positivity for the startup and tech community that Launch Academy helped build and foster. So happy to be a part of this!

Moments of comfort, strength and weakness have all been included in Erasure's music for me. This was a fantastic performance. "I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue that you gimme no reason why you make me work so hard."

It's hard sometimes for me to photograph my friends because the pressure to make it the absolute best is definitely there. Thank you to one of my best friends Adrian Talens for his trust and lending his talents to my own projects. So proud of him this week. He just released his new single #MatchaHeaven and I seriously can't stop listening to it. Talk about HEADPHONES MUSIC! Listen to the track here: https://fanlink.to/matchaheaven
