Anthony Johnson

"My biggest passion in life is simply to create. From creating series of pictures to add to my portfolio for supporters of my work to see, to simple memories that will make people smile. The one thing that I live for in life is to create amazing experiences for other people and for myself. Just for a couple of minutes, think of yourself as an author, a director, a blogger, a game developer, a musician, someone who's about to record a podcast, whatever. Think about that one time when you and your friends where watching a tv show or a movie together, playing video games, jamming out to that one song in the car on a road trip, or any awesome memory that you had with your friend that literally gives you goosebumps and makes you smile every time you think of it. Now think about a similar time when you either watched a video, listened to a song, listened to a podcast, played a video game, had an experienced on some sort of media that made you sad, upset, reminisce on life, etc. For me, being the artist, the author, the director, content creator, the musician, the programmer, the overall driver of those emotions and of that experience that you've had is what makes me wake up in the morning. Whether if it's creating an experience through media, or planning a week long trip with some friends to go somewhere, it's about putting that emotion, thought, and inspiration in you're head that'll last forever, because in the end, when that one day happens and when we all leave this earth, you're not going to bring that $1,000 Canada Goose with you. In the end, we don't die with the things we've bought or earned, we die with the lessons, memories, and experiences we've gone through."
