Missing in Action

So during spring break, I lost my camera [again]. It kind of set me back with my work but some how I make the best of it. Luckily I saved most of my files in my hard drive from my previous experiences so I’m not in that much trouble. So what’s the problem? For some of the images I wanted to take and have yet to take I have to retrace my steps to get the right image.

I always seem to encounter a set back for the things I worked so hard for in my life. I think in some ways it taught me to appreciate things more. It’s also sort of a constant reminder for me not to take a lot of things for granted.

I hope the saying its true what they say, “the third luck is the charm”

Sixth Experience

"Walk In My Shoes"
I must honestly say shoes have been a big part of my life. Not just any shoes, mostly sneakers like nike's, air jordans, reeboks, pumas, ect. I've collected sneakers since I was 12 and I stopped a few years ago because it doesn't matter to me anymore.

When I was thinking about an experience, I thought about all the things I been through and how each shoe I see in my closet reminds me of it. I've had the best and worst experiences with each shoe I've collected over the years. I wanted to relate this experience with the topic of blindness and how people don't understand what you go through until they experience it themselves or see it through your perspective (which rarely happens).

Connection
The connection I made was how much more I cared about the experience i had with each shoe than the shoe itself. I think that's why I sold some of them or given them away a few years ago because i was letting go of a lot of things that happened in my life. I don't think I can forget the things that happened but I definitely moved on and changed. Growing up in new york, the culture and the people get to you sometimes in a negative way and when I left new york the things i use to care about are meaningless now. Shoes aren't as important to me like the way they were when i was 15.
