Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

When COVID hit all the sports and concerts I would shoot got shut down. I had nothing but what I would go out and try and be creative. I had 3-4 tattoos and thought I would get some to represent my passion for photography. The next thing I knew one after another came about. Tattoos that represented my photography and others that were representing my life as a competitive runner for many years. The more that stood for moments in my life and things I have gotten through or overcome.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

My ink says here is your life. This is where you have been and this is what you have overcome and what you have accomplished. It's my beliefs and my view on life. At 66 years old it tells me that I have done a lot to be proud of. All of my ink is from Ink Wizard in California Maryland

What would you do with the $25,000?

Sports and concert photography isn't financially how it was many years ago. My teaching provides me with the time to follow my passion. One of the best parts is giving back to others, which what my photography allows me to do. I want to retire from teaching soon so the prize money would allow me to pay off some bill so I could retire and knock of some of my photography bucket list.
