As an event photographer, it’s easy to get swept up in the glitz, the glam, the lights, the fashion, the spectacle and most certainly the sound. But what stayed with me most about working with over the last four days was something far brighter: the feeling of love moving through this community.
I heard someone say:“If you are looking for community, look around, you are already here.”
And that was it.
Every hug in the hallway. Every tearful conversation after a performance. Every dance floor eruption. Every quiet moment between friends. I wasn’t just documenting a conference, I was witnessing people finding themselves, each other and their community. What a blessing to be a witness.
