..was pretty fucking great. as some of you know, i was in chicago a couple weeks ago for my birthday and my nerdy fam had an event to celebrate the creatives of the chi. i had a photo booth set up for portraits and good vibes, you can view them all here.
if you know me, im not much of an holiday or bday person but i have to say this was definitely the best birthday week to date. chicago showed so much love, my book released and sold out on my birthday, kind of major was a success, and turning 27 felt very assuring. picking up a camera was the best decision of my life.
