Oklahoma Living August 2020

June 15, 2021 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

I forgot to post this cover photo that I did for Oklahoma Living last year during the pandemic. I went to Stillwater to photograph a CareerTech student on a hot July morning. We were able to stay “socially distanced” while I did the shoot.
