Question.

   "Where do you see yourself in 20 years?"

   This question and the various modifications of it (5 years, 10 years, etc.) are questions I have never in my life been able to answer. Even today, at the age of 24, about to launch a business with my two best friends, I couldn't tell you where I see myself next week.

   I'm one of those people who don't do the future. I talk about it, all the time, and there are tons of plans. Things I want, people I want to be with me, places I want to go and so on. I desperately want these to be in my future, and I'll make all the efforts to make sure it happens. But I don't see my future.

   I couldn't tell you with any certainty that anything is going to happen because in my years I've learned life is a storm. The winds of change are always in play. Things you think or even 'know' will never change eventually do.

   I can't tell you where I'll be in 20 years, I could tell you what and who I want then. But life has a strange way of moving things. Only thing I can tell you is I'll still be here.

What's In A Photo

   I love taking photos of everything and everywhere.

   I'm not one that lives the life behind a screen tho, I always take the time to take in the area or the thing I'm photographing before I actually take the photo. Recently with starting a daily vlog it's only increased my desire for photos and taught me a lot in the process. It's all about the memories. You can live in the moment and you can remember a moment but in a photo or video, you perfectly capture the moment.

   Now my vlog isn't one of the most interesting and my photos aren't the best, but for me, they tell a story. My vlog I always try to record beautiful moments for my timelapse and then the parts of the day that are important and noteworthy for the rest of the vlog. With photography again your able to capture the moment in perfect stillness. The emotion of a person, the beauty of a landscape or an animal.

   There are so many stories that can be told through both medians. It's not only an easy hobby but it can quickly become an obsession, I find myself wanting to travel and do more and more photography as time has gone on. Then working with my friends and launching Everything Entrikit as a production company has already shown me so many new ways to look at and see the world both through a lens and with the naked eye.

   Stop and take photos, shoot video, go live. In those moments you capture the world around you exactly as it is, even if you can remember the day for the rest of your life its an amazing feeling to go back and look at exactly how things were that day.
