On this day in 2021, I took this photo of @travispastrana crushing his previous record at @climbtotheclouds on Mt. Washington in NH. The entire experience on that mountain lit the spark to my motorsports photography career that I refuse to let it go out.⁠ ⁠ This journey is just getting started, and I'm so so grateful for the friends I've made along the way. ⁠ ⁠ Even though they probably don't know it, learning from so many of you in the past year (even just through instagram/facebook/tiktok, etc) has helped me so much, I'm so very grateful for that. @jameypricephoto @alteredstock @camdenthrasher @matthew.stryker @trevorlydenphoto @austingager @drewgibsonphoto⁠ @chris.creationmachine⁠ ⁠ See you on the track/stage/paddock! 🤙⁠ ⁠ I can't wait to see the @vermont.sportscar/@subarumotorsportsusa crew at @stpr_rally in a little over a month!⁠ ⁠ ISO 100 | 28mm | f/6.3 | 1/250 sec (at Climb to the Clouds) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTDymBOUb8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Went back into the archives after watching @charlysavely's @creativelive class and I am in LOVE with this shot.
