Writing has always been a major part of my life. Starting off with school reports, then transitioning into lyrics and poems. Whether writing for myself or for an audience, there was always a story to be told. Having been diagnosed with ADHD as a child, writing was a form of therapy for the brain. With a mind that was constantly in overdrive, writing helped as I could put thoughts on paper. As my writing ability matured, I began telling stories of where I was in life through journaling or online blogs. Since I began studying photography, I decided to use my writing as a companion to selected pieces of my work. Below are the stories In My Life.

I assure you, the tale in this weeks installment is 100% true. My wife and daughter are the only witnesses (with technology) that can attest to it.
