I know it’s been a few days since 2009 ended, but I still wanted to compile a list of my favorite stuff from 2009. For my life, and from my perspective, it was a great year. Somehow I continue to be blessed by good health, great friends, and awesome opportunities to do what I love.  2009 didn’t always go the way I wanted. My girlfriend for the most part is always about 386 miles away from me. My family situation is always frustrating, I got a few bad grades, etc… But those negative things of the year didn’t keep me down, and they sure didn’t outweigh the positive. I turned 22, a wise old age… got to travel quite a bit with John Tibbs and company, made our own cd, t-shirts, etc…  He’s got a lot going for him. I continued to be able to film and take pictures, exploring more and getting to push my creativity to new ends. You can see that soon in my porfolio that’s being built at the moment. Met new people from all over the country and am glad I can call them friends.  Growth is happening continually for me, and I’m glad I haven’t become stuck in a rut physically, spiritually, mentally, etc… I thirst for all of these things. So what encapsulated me in 2009? Read on to see.

I snapped this shot the other day as my dear mother and I went through the supermarket. My mom must have thought I liked this wine, but I’ve never had alcohol in my life. Remember that fact, it’s an interesting tidbit right? I really stepped back and took this shot because it was actually something that stood off of the shelf to me visually. I was quite taken back as a usual trip to the supermarket doesn’t give you any eye candy. Neither of the products or much of the people that come shopping care to much about their self image. Can I get an amen to white trailer trash!? (more…)
