This is how I saw GW for the last few years. I’ve been at political rallies and sold-out concerts, met Bill Gates and saw the first black man become president of the United States. My photo lens has captured moments where people reveal their true selves. It is that sliver of time that marks a moment – like Jason Mraz belting out his lyrics or a student crying for his cause – that makes me want to be a photographer. And The Hatchet has given me the opportunity to make those moments last forever.
