New Year's Engagement and Some Planzzz

You know I would think I'd be more productive this year and post a bunch of stuff and whatnot, but you know... I didn't lol. And it wasn't a lack of motivation or anything. I guess I just wanted to observe more this year.

In 2024 I witnessed the biggest burnout among peers and people I currently follow. Just recently my old supervisor leaves our previous job to start in my agency and my former manager just up and quit her position! Holy shit! People are really tired!

I was almost at that point, but I decided to leave some work in-progress to be more present on what I'm seeing and what I'm hearing currently. I'm glad I stepped away for a bit giving me a chance to realize how much I love seeing and listening to new things. I did plenty in 2024 and I think 2024 was my best yet.

I finally proposed to my now fiance. I think it's time to start this new chapter and I'm excited of what's to come. I've been giving a lot of thought about my future with this woman and it certainly dawned on me that this next step was necessary. Whilst this process I've been reflecting on my past experiences as a married person and some of those memories are starting to fade gradually. With so much trauma I've endured those years this relationship gave me a chance to practice forgiving myself more than usual. I sometimes see this past life person on some of the photo scans I've been archiving as of late. Thosse images now remind me of how good I have it now.





So the shots that you are seeing here are just some samples of what I want to do possibly for 2025. The Camp Snap Camera is lowkey pretty fun camera to just bring around and snap up images without any care in the world. This and the Minolta Dimage XT are certainly going to be main images that you'll be seeing online. I realize that a lot of my film photos are going to stay locked in the vault for awhile until I can figure out what I want to do with them.










And you know that Minolta Dimage XT is not a bad camera, but it's just slow to process and setup sometimes. The battery dies rather quickly and everytime you charge the battery the camera just resets lol. It's a bit of a annoyance, but again I gotta remember that these cameras are made for the place I live. It works sloooowwwww.

Another New Year. Another new me? Eh... maybe lol, but I'm going to just keeping truckin' on what I've been working on as of late. I hope everyone's NYE was good, safe and enjoyable. To the ones that have had a shitty 2024? I hope many blessing come and you can witness 2025 with fresh and ambitious eyes.
