I've talked before about how my busiest time of the year is always in the spring and I call that my "Salad Days," which is a line from the movie Raising Arizona. This year was a wonky year and many people in the creative industry experienced their slowest year since covid. The spring was extremely slow for me as well, and even scary at times. Every dime that came in went toward paying our bills, and I had to then put other staples of life like, gas, chewing gum, Ale-8s, cheeseburgers, on my credit card, which I've never had to do before.

But then, like the flip of a switch, my summer and fall schedule exploded with work. The life expectancy of a freelance photographer is usually short, but thankfully, I have been able to weather many storms over the last 22 years. Freelance is not for the faint-of-heart because it can be such feast or famine. 

Here are a few recent photos that saved my bank account.
