The fabric of our lives.

In response to my experiences as a first-year college student, I must say, “I have learned many things, but there is still so much more to continue learning.”  I really did not expect most of this year’s events, but I am fortunate to have undergone such experiences–shooting my first wedding, actually enjoying another concentration other than Portrait Photography, and changing lifestyles–that have molded me into whom I am becoming. And nothing I would change, not even to a path of less resistance.

However, I do wish that this upcoming year is even more difficult than this past year. I desire a deep, inner-yearning to improve my work, my world, and myself to be provoked in the near future. Of course, this is something that is mostly self-guided, but others may help encourage this desire to fester.

Thus,

I say, “Goodbye,” to last year and its traits and I say, “Hello,” to the promising consecutive year.

I thought about revealing my behind-the-scenes trickery of this photograph, but I am told, “Magicians never reveal their secrets,” so I choose to remain an amature magician of the camera.
