Hello,
So recently I created a page (
@jhoffnerphotos ), you may have seen some of the posts presented on my stories lately. The reason I created that page was to share photos that I’ve taken that have other subjects in the frame rather then just myself. With that being said for quite a while now I’ve been on the fence about posting my work on this page (my personal page.) Which now when I really think about it, that makes no damn sense. In my mind I thought of it as this is my personal feed and it needs to be specifically designated around me...Not my photography because it may not gain as much interest, I may post too often, or I won’t get as many likes, etc...(btw let’s be honest were all mostly guilty of wanting the likes, it’s programmed that way)
In my opinion that’s just ass backwards.
Photography is me, its a part of who I am. It has come to play such a huge role in my life since the day I picked up my first camera a little over two years ago. Undeniably it is my passion and I need to continue to practice to hone my skills.
Its made me put myself in some up close engaging situations with people, which sometimes can be a bit uncomfortable on both sides but then the more I did it the more confidence I gained. I’ve met so many new people from using this tool in the right manner and I can truly say how much I’ve come to appreciate all of the experiences and look forward to many more. Now to to keep this short and sweet and to the point:)...Be ready for much more content on this page, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Peace and love everyone.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that’s my wish... Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
