Mooselake

 

It wasn't the first time I'd escaped the present, but this time I saw where I was going. There's a path here and I'm going to write my way onto it. I finally motivated myself to value having a blog again.
 
I know. "Riiight. How many times have I heard this before?" [eye roll]
 
Where does it go?
 
I'm not sure, but the journey is the destination. Chances are, if you're reading this, you've got a good handle on how blogs work. This is my brain in words. This is me. Vulnerable me.
 
Who's it for?
 
You. Your friends. Desperate twenty-something, observant, open-minded, thoughtful people. This is me reaching out. Not taking, but giving. Providing, then observing, then providing. A transaction of necessities and frivolities. (I couldn't think of a better word than "frivolities." My bad.)
 
What am I here to blab about?
 
Things on our minds. Things that matter. Things that excite, entertain, educate and encourage.
 
It doesn't appear so, but (just like you) I have several ideas tumbling around in my brainage. Mostly about marketing, interwebbage and photography. (I know. Original, right?)
 
Why should you read this blog?
 
Because I'm a goofy-looking, quarter-life-crisis-experiencing, Twins-loving, tech-watching, business-hustling photog in South Dakota. You care about what I have to say because you can relate to me in one way or another. 
 
Because I write with words you can understand. 
 
Because I like helping people. 
 
Because I see things differently.
 
For those of you who hate reading long blog posts (like me) - fear not. Luckily my brain can't stay still longer than it will take you to read most of my posts. (This post = five sessions of writing, four Weezer albums and about twenty gallons of coffee.)
 
Bonus: since I'm taking time to tap the shutter, I will also provide a plethora of pretty pictures herein.
 
I hope you come back, and I hope you get as much as I try to give.
