    This just makes so much sense to me. I know it obviously doesnt relate to photography directly but if you really want it you have to gun for it.

    Just gives me all the more push I need to try and get my own photography out there and try and achieve as much as I can. We only have so much life. I don’t want to regret not making the moves I needed to make.

    Thanks Chase,
    Appreciate all you do for us
