Over the last 2 weeks I've been at the World Championships with the Oregon22 content team providing photographs of the best athletes in the world.⁣ ⁣ Although this was my 3rd World Championships, Oregon22 was the first one where I worked as part of a big team (and boy did it make life better). I’m so proud of how hard my team worked and I’m so thankful they trusted me with this role. ⁣ ⁣ I pushed myself both physically & creatively to capture unique images (all without an infield bib or a remote camera). Between all the 4 a.m. wake-up calls, every technical difficulty, the heat, and the heavy gear, the effort shines through in the images. This is some of the best work that I’ve done.⁣ ⁣ Social media has made posting my work very discouraging (thanks algorithm), but the comments, shares, and support from athletes, fans, and fellow professionals both on this platform and IRL keeps me going. Please keep sharing! Also seeing my work displayed on the jumbotron was unreal.⁣ ⁣ I am ready for my next assignment! I've learned so much from this event and I feel even more confident going into the next. See you in Budapest!!! (And then Paris? 👀👀👀)⁣ ⁣ #WCHOregon22 #WorldAthleticsChamps #HowLaoPhotography
