Just go for it—life’s too short not to try. Everyone’s journey is unique, but my advice is to grab whatever camera you can afford and start shooting. Go to small shows in tiny clubs or bars, discover local bands you’ve never heard of, and take as many photos as you can. Experiment and make mistakes—take blurry, underexposed, or out-of-focus photos.

I'm going to need Taylor to start paying my therapy bills. Taylor Swift released her newest record on April 19, titled “The Tortured Poets Department”. I was beyond excited for this album to be released. I tend to love music with good lyricism, so Taylor Swift is right up my alley in that department. It also helped that this was going to be the first album that I could relate to emotionally.
Album Review: Can We Please Have Fun by Kings of Leon
Are the guys from Kings of Leon still having fun? With their latest release “Are We Still Having Fun,” we are diving in to see if it’s true. The Southern Rockers partner up with pop producer Kid Harpoon, who famously works with Harry Styles, so we had to see what came of this pairing.
