A message in a bottle
Journal Entry: Sat May 24, 2008, 5:02 PM
There comes a time when you have to let your past become just what it is meant to be, past. Leave it there and never look back unless you need a reminder of what makes you who you are and where you come from. It doesn't mean you have to erase everything you have become or ever were but rather a way of taking the best of it all and moving forward and as cliché as it sounds, learning from your mistakes. I've done just that and my life has had some rather incredible changes.
It has been long since I've been able to look at myself in the mirror without the constant fear of seeing a stranger everytime you look into your eyes and years have passed since I felt as though my life actually means something, anything and I have begun to appreciate each and every moment of every day that passes.
People surrounding me and my constant need to belong over-dosed on insecurities were probably the catalyst for all my tragedies and sorrows. I was depressed and starving for attention. I needed to find myself and clean up my act but most importantly I needed to grow up. I have vanished since and decided to redefine myself both as a person and an artist.
I recently returned to the world of photography and digital imagery and in order to move forward I came up with a plan; I have decided it would be best to release my photographs utilizing two distinct capturing/processing techniques to eliminate clutter, confusion and redefine myself within the industry. 1.) The hybrid-hdr imagery that looks almost three-dimensional and lifelike. 2.) Cross-processed photographs; resembling those captured on film and then deliberately processed in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film.
I have realized that there is nothing standing in my way from becoming one of the greatest and most influential individuals/artists of our time as long as I put my mind to it. Revolution is coming! Leave your past behind.
Sincerely,
Dash Revery
