Today I turn 37. This past year has been one of the most spectacular and surreal, and the more things changed the faster the time flew by. And change things did. I quit a 20 year career to do something new and I’m jumping head first into yet another new hobby. I’m trying things I never imagined I would and while it wasn’t a banner year for self portraits, I think I did a pretty great job of documenting another year of me and Alf.
I’m pretty stoked to see what happens as we hurtle towards 40.
