I’m submitting this image for the memorial for a few reasons. First, I feel this portrait displays the strength and resilience of Las Vegas emergency workers. They look robust, unimpaired and primed for their next emergency. Second, I believe the timing of this portrait is also significant. This photo was taken only 15 days after the shooting, and strength through peer support is evident in their faces. As a first responder myself, I would be incredibly honored if my submission was accepted
