This came to absolutely no surprise to me at all. This image was taken about one week before the grand opening. I sat in this same spot for about 2 hours capturing the different light and how it affects the building. As I sat there and did my thing there were countless of people anxious and exited about the opening. Parents were peeping through the glass and kids were riding there bikes around eager to get inside and experience what a great asset it is to the community. Right then and there I knew that this project would stand out from the rest. It truly was an honor to work on it and capture this wonderful space.
