Honored to have been at the right place at the right time to make this image. Humbled by all the emails and messages I’ve gotten from vets and their families telling me their stories and trusting me with their emotions. Happy Veterans day today and everyday. ✌

I’m one of those annoying people who always forgets to bring their headphones so I start blasting my music from my iPhone while I’m out taking pictures. I’m like a walking boombox! So a lot of the times if you hear some Beyonce playing, it’s probably me. #hotlinebling

So I had to leave my family’s harvest moon dinner celebration a little early to capture this image. It’s ok, I’m not the biggest fan of Chinese food but my dad kept on insisting that there wasn’t going to be a moon because of the clouds.

I left anyways and was determined to get a great shot of the moon. He was partially right. The clouds were really heavy in the early evening but luckily they started breaking up around 8p. By the time I made my way to the Washington Monument, I was in the middle of a photo party of about 10 other photographers all waiting and shooting.
