SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY: Chad Pennington
Chad Pennington is the founder of Sobitart Photography located in Brooklyn, NY.
“Like most, I started out wanting to make something interesting, something that I could be proud of and something that the world could take notice of. Life finally has meaning to me, with 2 children and a beautiful wife I now know what I want out of it and that is to make them proud of me and for them to never forget who I was, what I did and taught them and for them to let their children know that I was here.”
