WHY I DO WHAT I DO!
It's okay for people talk about all my irons in the fire. It's okay that they think I'm the busiest person in the world. (I'm not!) It's okay... they don't understand that everything I do revolves around one "main" element in life: Story.
My story. Your story. His story. Her story. The story behind a town. The story behind a landscape. The story behind an issue. The story behind an event. The story behind an artist. The story behind a photo. The story behind an art piece. The story behind a headstone. The story behind a song. Everything is...
Story.
I love stories. I need to tell stories. And that's what I try to do...in many, many ways.
