2013 see you soon....

Hello November!

It's crazy how fast time goes by but here we are closing up 2012. I've been submerged in work and projects but it's been a great year. I've spent a good portion of the year trying some new things, some worked, some didn't but the experiences of this year have been priceless. I always come back here and read my old post, so I figured this time I'd drop a line. I turned 25 this year (thank you lord for letting me see another year) and I really had a lot of time to reflect back on my teen years to my young adult years and really appreciate it. I started this blog about 5 years just looking to post some poetry and have a space to display some of my interest, but I never thought it would connect me to so many people from all over the world. I always give thanks to all the people who supported me here and continue to do so. This place for me is often like a digital photo album where I can come back and re-live some memories. Thank you to all who continue to rock with me after all this time, you are appreciated! Universal Love.

It's W.A.R.

I was invited out to Justin Smith's photography showcase labeled "W.A.R." which hosted his recent photography. The venue was amazing, the event was astounding, and exactly what Phoenix needed. Ashton-Alexander does another fantastic job of capturing the energy of the event. Great work to all parties involved!

"Taking place in a charming, elegant room at The Ice House in Phoenix, Justin Smith's W.A.R. showcase stayed true to its setting. The handsomely framed prints captured moments from his time in NYC, LA, New Orleans, Vegas and AZ. The event was indeed a photography showcase but it was also a celebration of a newly completed Bachelor's degree for Justin as well as an introduction to the world as an artist." - Ashton-Alexander.com
