passin' me by

as the last few days of school come to an end, I find myself taking more and more pictures focusing on portraits and work I can actually sell. Invested in a nice canon lens for portraits. I got the opportunity to do a few jobs in the past few weeks. One of my favorite shoots was at Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA. I originally went out to shoot my buddy Bryce and his band "The Fielding Mellish" (who coincidentally enough, I just got done doing the album artwork for) but in the process I was roped in to shoot the artist he was opening for, Englishman from Shangoband. All in all, very fun and Im excited to work more with all these guys. Plan on seeing the album covers soon.

As I embark on life's journey from the point where I'm at
Peace to everybody strivin to live right and exact

Even though anxieties try to pull you down
See your troubles as a blessin and you're homeward bound
Everybody gotta struggle, that's the way of the world
Can't develop biceps if you don't do curls
Can't achieve a a garden if you never water your crops
If you never paid your dues, then you don't get props
Couldn't eat a proper meal without cookin it first
Can't receive a paycheck if you don't do work
If it wasn't for the rain, then the trees won't grow
When the spring came around, what a sight to bestow
When you face adversities, dark clouds won't last
If you never study, how do you expect to pass?
The grasshoppers laid around while the ants did chores
When the winter came around, he was left outdoors
See the cycle keeps moving like a big machine
Evolution of the mind, soul body and being
God'll never put upon you more than you can take
Sometimes you even gotta learn from OTHER people's mistakes
