Over ten years ago, I started photography to process and distract myself from challenges in my teenage life. I try to make new photography goals each year, but sorting out what those will be in 2024 has proven challenging. There used to be milestones I strived toward, such as acquiring new gear, working with clients, and earning a specific amount of money. Now that I have slowly returned to photography as a therapy, all these past goals seem frivolous and nugatory. The pursuit I return to as having long-term meaning is storytelling and documenting how I perceive the world. Looking through a lens, choosing what to include in each frame and uncovering a story is truly enjoyable. It's even better when there is a common understanding of the subjects and situation from the observers of my work.

This year I plan to share photographs and tell the stories behind them. The posts will be brief with a focus on the images. Thanks for joining me another year as I continue this practice of making photographs!
