Reflections & Thanks
Looking back at my archiving experiences, there is little doubt of my growth; Grasping at as many opportunities that push me forward & towards my passions.
- I've never owned my own camera (still don't - shoutout to Drey Anozie, NIA Centre for the Arts, and The People Project for letting me borrow/rent your cameras)
- I am pretty much self-taught with some mentorship, guidance, and youtube support along the way
- I've shot 100+ events over 5 years (not including side projects and some work for community organizations)
Thank you everyone in the community who believe in me and the work that I do. Without your existence, I wouldn't be doing what I love.
Pfffft! Resolutions?!
I've given up on New Years Resolutions a few years ago because they were usually all the same (lose weight, have fun, save money, etc.). At the end of the year I would feel discouraged when I looked back on my list realizing I didn't fulfill most of my goals.
For more flexibility, I started utilizing __ before __ from the blogosphere around my 21st birthday. The __ before __ list has simply laid down a path for me to follow but I know I am free to stray from this path when more enriching opportunities and possibilities pop-up (or even ignore the path if necessary).
