1 | The Beginning..

I’m beginning this blog in hopes to start my own way of staying consistent and creating more productive habits. For the longest time, i’ve been holding back my progression and blaming it on my incapacity to create due to the lack of power behind equipment I had to work on. I’ve cashed out a lot of fund and reinvested it, most of it, back into upgrading much needed equipment to be a much more efficient, creative machine. Not machine in the conceptual, mindless-mass-production mindset, but a consistent and highly productive monster in my industry.

I was working on an old HP PC, or was it Dell, it doesn’t matter at this point but it was on it’s last leg in 2021 at around 6-7 years old. It wasn’t even bought with optimum specs and equipment. Most of my life and means comes from the inability to monetize, or properly and productively monetize my art. I took the dive and moved to an Apple MackBook Pro and realized that was the move. Having Apple products in an extremely efficient Apple ecosystem within a creative world has shown me the possibilities of production. Apple seems to be very much directed towards creatives. And the world is made to support Apple whether it be from cars, to homes, to connectivity and beyond.

I’ve reinvested in a few more camera equipment additions and have simplified and organized much of my space where I work. I’ve separated and pretty much labeled all the spaces in my area/studio to be more clear in my creation process. Although, I did get a laptop computer to be able to be as mobile as I needed to be. And I love it. Another restraint of creating anything electronically was being tied down to one spot to work on something with a desktop computer.

I’m very glad and extremely inspired to continue this new level of success due to coming from such a slow paced and gradual process to be successful. There will be much more to come, much more to experience and much more life to live. Here’s to the beginning of my blogging. When I look back, or anyone looks back at this after having a reason to research me and discovering this time capsule, I hope it inspires me to keep going and others to see you can start from nothing and amount to something in the eyes of yourself and the world.
