About Newnotes:
Five years ago I fell in love with a new hobby. I struggled finding joy in what most kids my age were doing, and I felt my life slipping away as I stared at a computer screen till 3am every night. One evening I saw a friend’s Instagram full of rooftop photography and fell in love with the idea of escaping my boring reality.
This escape became a lifestyle; so much so that I took a gap year where I worked for eight months overtime before traveling the world exploring. However, I never felt confident that I could take photography to the appropriate level to make a living.
I continued to drag myself through the education system, causing my mental health to deteriorate further due to Covid-19, exams, and a fear of disappointing my parents. This all trapped me in a negative cycle I was keen to escape.
Eventually, I found Web3 and NFTs and my passion for photography was taken to the next level, as my distaste towards university reached an all-time high. Currently, having just finished university and losing my job in the same week, I am looking to pursue exploration and photography as a full time career: traveling worldwide, exploring cities top to bottom, and brining out new mediums of art.
