I don't usually make posts in commemoration of anything, but '25 deserves a moment. It was a difficult year but in a lot of ways really rewarding. I learned a lot. I got a puppy, but lost a great dog. I saw so many cool things, met so many cool people, and took more photos than I could count. I developed hundreds of rolls of film, and experimented with a lot of new processes that taught me a lot. I sold the best car I've ever had and promptly wrecked the other Mercedes. I spent what feels like countless hours working on my cars, which I have come to really enjoy. Then I bought a Kei truck bc I can't seem to stay away from projects that put me in over my head. I photographed so many important moments for people, and stayed busier with photography than I ever have before. I spent a lot of time with my friends and family. I spent a lot of time alone. There were a lot of struggles that nobody will ever know about. Life gets hard, but it goes on. I love my friends, l love my family, I love my job. I tend to think January 1st is just another day but this year it really feels like a reset and I'm ready for that. Looking forward to the new year
