who am I?

 It’s very difficult to write about yourself without coming across as Fake. I could wax lyrical about my achievements and accolades but that’s not who I am, I could become all egotistical and talk about qualifications and awards but that’s not who I am, I’ve had websites in the past that told the wrong story of who I am, more what was thought potential clients wanted to hear, but that’s not who I am, it wasn’t honest and authentic and wasn’t a portrayal of myself as a person. So, who am I…?

At times I have a troubled soul but many creatives do, I’ve made more mistakes than most but I’ve fought my way back admitting those mistakes with no regrets just another part of my life’s story, I’ve lived a good life that tells a story of my existence on this planet, many ups and downs, I’ve been homeless as a teenager after a troubled childhood but from that experience, it opens your heart to the plight of others and gives you a generous soul that would rather give than receive, would rather hear your story than give you mine. I live within my means staying humble to the roots that formed me, staying grounded through the various highs of life knowing there will be another low. I’m a lover of nature, the outdoor world, and the air we breathe, and most of all I feel thankful that the sun will rise on another day. I am AUTHENTIC like the photos I take….. in the wise words of Pinocchio, “I’m a real boy”
