McAllen Photographer Behind The Scenes

“Every person I meet has something to teach me”

I saw this posted by John Maxwell this morning and it made me think of just how my life has unfolded. Everyone has a story to tell and experiences to share. It’s crazy just how much some people have lived and what they’ve seen in such a short time.

Evelyn Cano was kind enough to take this behind the scenes photo of me working last week and it kinda all clicked. In my line of work, I hate saying “Job”, I have learned from everyone. I have seen the word “hustle” evolve from a negative connotation to something positive and meaning you get what you you reap what you sow.

I still remember my chief photographer giving me tips on how to deal with people in adverse situations in the 90s to how people want to have their voices heard during a social media era in my last project. I was given the opportunity to work with Disability Chamber or Commerce RGV and highlight some of their achievements and what their hope are for their organization.

It was great hearing how McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley has become more inclusive to all walks of life. It’s not perfect but it’s a start and they’re defiantly on their way.

I can’t wait to see the finished video this week.
