In that decade I have learned a lot about the world, people, cultures, identities, food, wine, and maybe most importantly, myself.

Getting things in focus
So I have this thing where I do photos. I take them for weddings, engagements, maternity, and for fun such as wen I was travelling this summer. But being an artist of any type is usually expensive, time consuming, exhausting, and you get paid very little money, if anything at all. Therefore I am doing…
