Final Frames and Farewell

Here are a few final frames from D.C.
Shooting in Washington over the last year has been a blast, but the real treat has been working alongside my mentors Doug Mills and Stephen Crowley, as well as all the incredible shooters in the Washington Press Corp. I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who invested in me and helped me along the way. It will be hard not to see such a great group of folks every day.
