Wow. 1 year. 1 year is a long time. And a lot of pictures.

What has changed in a year? Not much, and a lot. I AM SO DEEP OOOOOOOMG.

I originally started this blog as an honest attempt to be… honest. Most people write blogs in a way that don’t actually reflect their own deep-rooted feelings. This was done for a good reason, obviously, and this element of the blog didn’t last too long before I started the 365 project (which is much more exciting anyways). However, in trying to keep with that whole “write what I want” mentality, I would take a picture of whatever I wanted, every day (sometimes more than once a day) and upload it. A fairly harmless way of expressing your thoughts or experience. Yay!

June 9th, 2008:

-I was preparing to take summer school at Mira Costa
-I owned 1 polaroid camera, 1 holga, and 1 pentax
-had never had a “real” job before (one that included having to actually TRAVEL to a place of work to put in hours of actual labor, as one friend put it)

Since then, I have:
-been featured in 2 gallery shows in LA, with two more scheduled within the next few months
-traveled to NYC and stayed with my cousin
-gotten another Polaroid land camera (and two more as of last Sunday), 4 Sx-70 cameras (LOL), and another holga
-watched the bankruptcy of Polaroid, and the subsequent birth of the Impossible Project
-gotten 2 jobs
-traveled with a mob of people on bikes through the streets of LA… 4 times
-met some of the most amazing people ever

So thanks everyone for your support! It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to looking at these pictures when I’m too old to remember any of this.
