Marquette

My favorite picture. I woke up at 4am to catch the epic contrast of the pink sunrise and leftover blue hour. I am a student in Marquette and I am stuck between staying in University and pursuing travel photography. This trip would give me the confidence and help me build my portfolio so I am able to make my decision! Thanks for reading Brendan! #BvSCrete
