This is the moment I knew.

A drizzling, misty day in the PNW—just enough to capture the dew on the petals without the chaos of a downpour. No rules, no technical overthinking, just pure light and a sudden, instinctive connection to the lens. This was my first blue ribbon winner, but more importantly, it was the moment of self-recognition: I am a photographer.
