Dragging. It’s like life is on some boring loop and I can’t help but feel defeated. There has to be more to life than sleep work repeat? When is the time going to come where I can get my hands dirty and create something that impacts others?! I’m ready man.

Here’s something a little more ✨whimsical✨ and less creepy. I feel like sharing today so be prepared for a doozy of a caption. For the last 6 months I meticulously planned out my feed. I would spend hours (not exaggerating) rearranging my work in apps to find the most ✨aesthetically pleasing✨ order so when someone clicked on my profile it would be cohesive! While it was SO gratifying to swipe my profile and see the gradient of colors change and mesh beautifully, the amount of pressure it put on me was crippling. I wouldn’t post my favorite pictures just because they didn’t fit in my feed as well! Like that’s absurd. I would get so locked in to the color palette I “needed” to shoot next that it truly limited my creativity. So, in 2021 I’m saying fucc it and posting whatever I want! Enjoy this warm toned photo against all of the cooler ones in my feed because IDGAF (I mean I do a little bit but not enough to not post).

The only thing I can think when I revisit this series is Samwise Gamgee saying “There are dead faces...iN tHe WaTeR” 😂 I’m really pleased with the way this one turned out! Swipe to see a rough process on how I turned 2 images into ✨1✨

Don’t mind me just re-editing old photos with a more surreal twist. This year I’m really trying to focus on visual story telling and fantasy ✨ hopefully that’s something y’all will like
