For me, June was mega chaotic for a bunch of reasons. But I will say generally this month hasn't been that bad. I think the biggest win is that I'm finding more clarity with my business and I'm shifting towards a place that I want to be operating from. It's hard but I know this is a change that needs to be done. We're still hanging in there, working, and enjoying life as a high school graduate! This month I graduated and I honestly feel so unreal, finally FREEDOM!!! (kinda) Here are some of my pictures from the month, feel free to share some of yours...

Here’s mine, what’s yours?

Woke up with that feeling that it’s gonna be an amazing day. I helped so many people and was so productive… Did i make money? No. Did I go to the gym? No. Did I even make myself happy today? No. But I did hard thing for other people, sacrificed my time and energy for the wellbeing of my peers. Man it’s a good day, I love being useful on this earth and even though I can’t work right now too much, I am still enjoying life helping those in need. A couple lessons today… 1. Be grateful for any amount of money you earn, when you lose the ability to make it predictably you’ll be happy with anything 2. Never make your purpose/goal in life a fixed number of achievements. Always just think about becoming better everyday and that’s all that matters.

Things are hard right now, very tough with family stuff. I'm having increasing amount of doubt and hate towards my dreams of continuing my videography journey. No dopamine in my life, no social media, no vacation, no socialization, just simply helping those in need. Man these past month absolutely rocked my entire world you know. I thought I was “the shit”, “the man”, “the guy who could figure out his life at 17” I’ll be honest this entire year has been a bunch of ups and downs and right now I think is the biggest down period of the year. I’m not complaining though, I needed to be humbled, god took my business away from me and put me in the spot I needed to be in. That way I can realize how hard life really is and that this amazing lifestyle of a traveling videographer making videos for gyms doesn’t come so easily. I wish I was more grateful when I had everything, I wish I celebrated myself an God more. Now I have almost nothing, at least it seems. The fist true rock bottom of life is yet to come but I’m scared knowing I’m almost there. This community will stay, and I appreciate you guys. Just know that everything is fine, but I will be less active and less focused on the business since God has put very different priorities in front of me. Cherish the present moment, as it can get much worse. As someone who lived the "dream" just a few short months ago and had time to play tennis nearly every day, please cherish wherever you are now because YOUR journey is TRULY beautiful! Praise God, it will get better for you and me Amen!

Hello everyone! I'm back🙃 so I worked for five days starting on Sunday 5 and till Thursday 9 of July. I was running around everywhere super tired so the day after everything was done I just stayed at home and just had some rest without any running. Plus on Tuesday when I came back after one of the shootings, like it was all day, my SD card decided to stop working and I had to recover all the corrupt files I was up till three am but I did it, I got back the photos! It was very stressful I had to run in the morning the next day to buy another SD card and also another film roll because I had only two and I already used those. For film rolls I used those specifically during runway shows because my clients they didn't ask for film photos only digital so I decided to do film photos for myself those that I can use by myself. So I already gave two rolls for the scan and I cannot wait to see the results. Overall it was a wonderful experience I met very interesting people everyone around me spoke Chinese so it was like a full day of people speaking Chinese around me and I loved it 😅🤗 also the talents that I took photos of were very nice very sweet. Unfortunately the magazine that I worked with they had problems with managers of the artists because they're very picky and very demanding. To remind you I was a second photographer and the main photographer was also from China he has amazing camera and light and everything and when he takes a photo it looks like a screenshot from " La la land" movie or something ✨ however the manager didn't like the photos and she was asking to edit those so much the photographer didn't sleep at night and he had to do all the editing. He was exhausted poor thing and he wasn't even paid that much I mean apparently like in China he's very expensive but here the the lady from the magazine she told me that she doesn't pay him much for this work so it was awkward for her that he had to suffer all this for not big amount of payment that he's gonna get.... So yeah there were some problems not from my side, just from the side of the organization between magazine and artist managers, I hope they figured it out 🙃
