CONGRATULATIONS in all caps, Chris! This could be the breakthrough you’re looking for! Remember the crosswalk? Could be those “crosses” you’ve been carrying have been the bridges leading to this! I’m ecstatic for you and am anticipating more photojournalistic moments for you! All things do work together for good!
