Snail’s Pace 🐌🎞️

Everybody moves at their own speed. Some people find success in their early 20s and build a life of fame and fortune, and some folks struggle to find their footing until later in life and settle for just a few minutes in the spotlight. But we all have different values, different goals, different lives. It’s not fair to compare where you find yourself on your journey with anyone else. That’s a lesson you learn the hard way - and far easier said than done.

The year is halfway over and I have been lost since before it began. This has been by far one of the most tumultuous years I’ve experienced since moving to New York City, and it has taken me longer than I’m willing to admit to realize that the only way out is through it. Through mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and above all, financial struggles, I’m happy to say that I am still kicking. I fell into a creative hole earlier this year, and I’m afraid my attempts to dig my way out have only deepened and expanded this labyrinth of problems. Life looks much different now, and despite what my wallet says, that’s always for the better.

Every day I am treading new ground, facing new experiences, making new friendships, learning new things about myself and who I want to be in this chaotic world. And I’m doing it at my pace. From day to day that pace changes, but no matter how long it takes, across the lowest valleys and the highest peaks, I will get to where I’m going…

Wherever that might be.

2025 in Review 🎆🎞️

Earlier this year I declared that this would be the year that everything changes. During the past twelve months, I’ve learned that I was right, though certainly not in the ways I expected.

It has been a creatively frustrating year, though admittedly quite rewarding in many ways as well, despite the creative obstacles in my path. I have stretched my breadth as a photographer and filmmaker, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunities this year to grow my abilities further. In truth, I am still a beginner, and I am so grateful to be learning more and more all the time.

There is so much that I wish I had shared with the world over this past year, but I am proud of the work that I have. With each new roll of film I develop, I see my creative muscles grow and mend. From working on set to photoshoots with friends, my photography skills have expanded, revealing strengths and challenges where I didn’t expect. I can’t wait to see what more 2026 has in store for me. Bigger things are ahead, I can feel it!

In the meantime, enjoy some highlights from this year that haven’t been seen before 😉

This has been one of the hardest years of my life so far. Not because of overwhelming change, but rather ironically, the lack of it. This past year has been full of big swings, bigger misses, and above all, a lot of personal growth that has been sorely needed. The trouble is, for all the changes happening in my life day in and day out, I don’t feel like it has been enough.

One thing to know about me is that I hold exceptionally high standards for myself, that much has been true for my whole life. And it frustrates me when I fail to live up to those standards or expectations, when I let myself down. I know the potential I hold and the power I have to control the direction in which I live my own life and pursue my passions, though lately it feels as though I’ve given up so much of that control to factors out of my reach. I make excuses, I compromise, and I give in to rash impulses that set me back instead of propel me forward. Our time on this earth is the most precious resource we hold, and I can no longer afford to misuse this wonderful gift we are given.

I hope this doesn’t sound too self-deprecating for an end-of-year post. In reality, though I am hard on myself, I am so proud of what I’ve accomplished this year. I sprained my ankle at the top of the year and STILL trained to run a half marathon! I worked as a production assistant on two short films this year and met so many wonderful people that I already treasure dearly (you know who you are). Hell, l shot a film on Super 8 that premiered at the Museum of freaking Modern Art!!! Big moves were made this year, people. But we can go bigger.

Next year I turn 30. Oh boy - we’ll get to that soon enough. With that on the horizon, I’ve been having all kinds of feelings about not being in the right place in life for my age. I think that much is obvious. But for as much as I focus on the little things that piss me off and cause me to blow up, I’m doing my best to focus more on the little things that make me smile, because they really do bring light to my heart in a way I can’t quite describe. And those are the things I wanted to share with you here at the end of 2025. Thanks so much for hanging in there with me ❤️
