Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.

Everyone has a past, and the downside to my life is that the past gets dragged up.

My life is not just about the past.
I am just pitifully nostalgic. I can't help but roll my eyes at myself frequently. I mean, I still shoot black-and-white film. And I am constantly reminiscing about the 'good old days.' I'm 28 years old. There haven't even been that many 'good old days.' But still, I love to look back.
