Finally I am HOME, in my room, etc.
I got back from Utah late last night, it was on hell of a long drive.
Lots of fun however, but not that many great photos.
Kinda sad to be back, back from everything.
I still miss Cambridge a lot, and I've pretty much decided I'm going to be moving back after I graduate in grade 12.
Once I move back I will spend a year there with my buddies family.
Hopefully find a job for that year, I'm 100% sure my current job would be willing to transfer me and the 1k$/month paychecks too.
After that, I will be traveling for a year by car.
Hopefully Europe, USA, or Northern and Eastern Canada. (Perhaps all)
When I get back, I plan to head to Ryerson College, with my best friend who will take videography while I take photography.
I've already had one professor from there comment on my photography, suggest the school, and give me his card.
Once I get some sort of diploma in Freelance, I plan to open a Gallery in Toronto, showcasing my favorite pieces of art, printed, framed in large resolutions.
Hopefully pricing between 300-500 a piece, framed, Lustre finish etc.
Which would rake in $90,000 - $173,000 a year. (All depends on prints sold/day/month/week and variably in price.)
Which is amazing.
By then I'll be around 20 years old, perhaps I'll find a wife, settle down and start a family.
I know this is pretty heavy shit, but I'm pretty determined.
On a side note, here are a few photos from the past month I'd like to share with you all!
Utah Sunset
My best friend, my bro.
From up at Sauble.
Their puppy, which I adore so much.
Reverse Lens, we rescued this.
I'm really missing people from down in Cambridge.
The People I met are already some of the best I know, which makes me sad because I live 3 provinces away.
Bleh, how do you cure these feelings? I miss so many people and there's nothing I can do about it
I'm already planning my next trip out to visit.
This time I'm hoping to plan a surprise!!
I'll let you in, hopefully you don't tell!
I'm going to plan, with the help of my best friends mother, (Who is like my second mother, their like...my other family!)
I will call her, and plan to come visit the week after Christmas Day. (Which we're all on Christmas Holidays)
I will stay for around 8 days, over New Years Eve. (Which means PARTYY!!!!! With all the chill people I've met!!)
I will pay for the plane ticket, fly down.
Now here comes to fun part!
ONLY the mother will know I'm coming.
She will, on the day I arrive, tell the family she is going out to pick up groceries, see a friend, go for a drive etc. etc. (Some sort of excuse!)
Then, secretly, she will pick me up at the airport and bring me back to their place!
Once we arrive on their block, she will let me out of their car at the corner with all my luggage in hand.
I will then, walk the rest of the way to their house. (About 5 minutes.)
Upon arrival, I will ring the doorbell with bags in hand.
And surprise them!! I will have "hitchhiked" there!! LOL!!
I think it's going to be great, my buddy and his sister will literally shit their pants when they see me on the doorstep!! It will be so exciting!!
Woot! Whatcha think of this sick plan?!!?
Ps: I got vacation pay, which is EPIC!! I got paid another $1k for the month I didn't work!!
So stoked!!
I went out today and ordered 2 professionally printed 100 page black finish photo books, 1 photo per page, filled with my favorite shots from our amazing time this summer!!
I'm going to send them one, which I know they will love.
I also bought 2 massive frames, each holding around 20 4x6 prints. Each going to go above my computer here in that space on the wall I've been saving for something special.
Blehh, I love life. But also miss people, which makes life not as fun.
Sorry for tl;dr.
But thanks a lot to those who have read it!
