The United States of America is only 247 years old. Egypt lasted more than 3,000 years! We have only been here for the blink of an eye.

I hate looking at the news. It’s the most negative thing in the world. I swear if you were to check the news everyday, you would think the world is going to end soon. One of my new hobbies is collecting newspaper headlines from the free newspaper stands in Philadelphia. Maybe one day I can make a collage of the newspaper scraps that I gather. If you are an artist out there reading this, don’t forget to steal whatever is free and fair game on the streets!

In street photography and everything else in life, it’s important to put your courage on the forefront.

Maybe Apple could make a stand alone camera device? I could imagine that taking over the game if they put their focus into it. The iPhone’s biggest selling point is the camera, so maybe it’s not necessary and will improve over time.

“Where at least I know I’m free”

After getting a good, deep sleep, I have unlimited energy the next day to hit the goal of walking 30,000 steps! Your body should physically feel exhausted after a long day of walking on the streets. If you’re not tired, you didn’t try hard enough.

I can’t stand to look at a computer screen before bed. It definitely effects your sleep in a negative way unlike anything else. Because of this, I tend to spend my mornings looking at photos on my iPad and doing other computer things. Once I come home from the day outside, I am absolutely exhausted and ready to drop dead asleep!

The courage and audacity I had to make this photograph still motivates me to this day. You can see the behind the scenes in this video I filmed.

I try my best to remain positive and forever optimistic about the future. Some simple things I do to accomplish this is by walking with my chest open, shoulders back, and head held high. I always have a smile on my face because I can’t help but feel blessed and grateful to be alive today. The one thing I have control of is my own physical health and well-being so I put these things in the forefront. Everything else will fall into place once you put your physical body first. I am so overjoyed with an abundance of happiness and I just want to share it with everybody I meet!
