To Photoshop With Love

Last year I took my first photoshop class ever. Prior to that I harbored a pretty intense fear and distaste for computers. This entry is a mini love letter to Adobe Photoshop and my wonderful professor William Low at FIT who single handedly coached me through my aversions. Without which I would never have produced the works found in this post. I also probably would not have created this blog. I still have a long way to go in the pursuit of mastery but at least I no longer feel nauseated at the thought of CS5.

Travel Write Draw

On the eve of my 25^th birthday I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the obligatory question “what do I want to do with my life?” I started compiling a list of the things I love to do, could never see my life without, and the three words that resonated with me most were travel, write, and draw. For years now friends have been asking me to share my travel photos on the web, write a column, or paint for them. I can’t think of a better way to integrate my greatest loves than creating a blog devoted to all three.

I’m a firm believer that we manifest our own destinies. We owe it to ourselves, even if only in private, to answer the question of what we want to do with our lives honestly. When I ignore all the pressures and criticisms in my head, I can see clearly what I long to do. Travel Write Draw isn’t just a blog, but a way of life. For me it’s a step towards building a life that I always dreamed I would have. So that my friends is what this blog is about; my true loves. I hope to inspire you, enlighten you, and maybe help you find what you love along the way.
