This image of Shaheem on the lakeshore of Chicago is quite possibly my favorite photograph I have ever taken. I can remember the exact feeling of electricity and outerbody levity that overcame me the moment I clicked the shutter. I think I probably screamed, lol. A handful of times in my career I've experinced this magical feeling, it is otherworldly, and bigger than me. Something to do with flow, alignment, with luck?
Genuinely curious to know, are you familiar with this feeling? what is it like for you? tell me about it 😘 🧡
