The world needs more people like you!!
Is your work on Instagram or Flickr? I'd love to see more of your photographs.
Ah, man, I have a Gretsch Special Jet plugged into a Vox AC4 in my spare bedroom that hasn't been touched in weeks. After watching this I need to go turn it on and keep practicing. Thanks for the lift.
Taking a walk with a camera is my anti-depressant as well. Photography is a great escape, almost meditative when you're in the zone, photographing something or someone you like. Stick with it please.
Very nice indeed. I like the way you think Nadya.
I love the video! Thank you Jamii for having me!
So much fun! Love the soliloquies and different takes on marriage!
Beautifully crafted!
