provo i was wrong about you.

Hello again from the lovely city of provo. Real fast...no I did not take the picture above. I'm getting to that. First, I have to say I had my doubts about moving here, but I can honestly tell you that Provo has brought me nothing but great things. I had been job searching for 2 weeks, carrying resumes with me wherever I went, even interviewed for a 911 emergency dispatcher job (if you ever want to hear pure terrorizing phone calls that take you straight to a shrink, they have a job opening. haha I'm sorry and excuse me but...what the hell was I thinking?) and then it happened. I had a slight inkling to drop my resume by one of the top photographers in the area, Justin Hackworth (thats who took the amazing photo above). Although, to be completely honest, I didn't think I had a chance. He called me 3 days later with a job offer. Well, after proving myself I will have the job that is. But still amazing.I can't begin to tell you how blessed we have been since moving here.

Oh, so Justin Hackworth. He's a very talented photographer. Here is some of his work from a project he did called 30 strangers. He's done it for the past 3 years (I believe these were from the first 2 years on the project) and this years exhibit will be showing at the Provo library art gallery all this month, starting September 3rd.
So make sure to check it out!!
