Trying to write an introduction about yourself is difficult. Especially difficult if all you do with your life is go to college and watch Netflix, not much else I could possibly write about.
Over the past several days I have wasted my 'precious days' sitting in bed playing Stardew Valley non-stop. Exciting isn't it? I have now spent more hours working on my farm than I have working on trying to get my life together. Besides Netflix and Stardew, I also have a big interest in photography and video editing.
In September 2017, I visited my grandparents in Russia. This was the first time I had gone to Russia in roughly 10+ years. During this visit, my grandad gifted me his old 35mm film camera - the same camera he used when he was younger. This helped me begin my film photography interest. Over the summer I have bought film and developed many photographs.
Here are a few of my favorite 35mm film photographs, and if you'd like to see more you can follow my Instagram photography page!

As well as film photography, I also enjoy digital photography. One of my favorite modules in first year was photography. Since I had never been in a studio before it was interesting to learn how to properly set up equipment and use the studio to your full advantage. Another thing I enjoyed about the module was the Photoshop assignments. Learning how to manipulate photographs in your favor, how to edit photographs and make them into something new.
Video editing is tricky business. It takes patience (something I do not usually have) and time. I discovered I liked editing a couple of years back when I begun filming uninteresting, makes no sense type of YouTube videos. And so that's when I realised I'd like to do this as a career someday.
In case anyone would like to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
Throughout the year I hope I become a far more interesting person as this post has truly made me realise how vanilla of a person I really am.
That's all folks
