You have proven yourself to have the skills of a professional photographer time and time again. Your ability to learn quickly and take mind-blowing pictures amazes all of us taking this course. Perhaps one day you too will take pictures and leave a legacy much like that of Gordon Parks. Perhaps, you will far exceed what he could ever dream of.
