2024 - Summary

This year, like every year, has had its ups and downs. However, for the most part, it has been up. I got to see 2 friends I had not seen in decades and worked on my professional and personal self. 

During the summer I got to visit Spain and relax. During this time, I also visited Greece and saw a place with so much history and beautiful beaches. 

Around October, I got my hands on the Sony RX100VII and found a new passion for photography. This pocketable camera packs a full-inch sensor and takes better photos than any phone. 

It's not the best low-light camera because of the F2.8 aperture - which quickly ramps up to F3.2 as soon as you zoom in past 24mm. 

However, the 24mm-200mm range on this is amazing.  Most of my recent photos have been taken with the RX100VII. 

I still carry the Sony A7R IV when I walk around the city with the purpose of taking photos. 

On a professional level, I will be staying in my current location for another year. This is something that wasn't planned. I wanted to go to another city with a warmer climate, but that wasn't a possibility.  

Well, at least the job pays the bills and it helps me get closer to my retirement goals. I want to retire 10-15 years from now. 

This means working my butt off in the near future to attain that goal. I want to purchase a couple of places, pay them off and live off the passive income. 

Let's see if that dream ends up happening. 

Thanks for reading this rambling. 

As bonus you get an amazing artist in Katy J Pearson to explore.
