The other day I was in my marketing class at the Art Institute and we were discussing what items seem to have unique value to a person. We were talking about what items or things really seem to make a person who they are, for example owning a custom built Xbox 1 is something that really makes a gamer a gamer. They would not be the person they are or try to be without their things, without their Xbox. I brought up this conversation to my family and it led to some really serious discussions about self discovery and material possessions. I came to the conclusion that it is not objects that make us who we are, even if we need these things to do our jobs, but I decided to take a step back and consider, what are the three things in my life that make me who I am?
So the three things I figured played the most important role in my life and really represented who I am were my guitar, my computer, and my camera. Is it kind of sad that two of them are pieces of technology? I decided that my guitar was very representative of myself because I am a musician. I have played music since I was very little and actually majored in classical guitar in high school. Music has been a huge love of mine and part of my life that I don't believe I could ever let go. I want to work in the music industry when I'm older as well, which brings me to my next item in my list, my computer. If I'm not making music on an instrument, I'm probably doing it using a computer. Being an audio/video guy, I spend A LOT of time on my computer mixing and processing mine and other peoples music, as well as editing videos and other things. My computer is where I do most of my work and where I keep all my projects. My computer pretty much has anything and everything of value to me on it. Last of all my camera. I love my camera. It's just a simple Canon dslr, but I bring it everywhere. I am always trying to capture memories and document my life and other work. Me and my significant other like to make vlog posts as well so we are constantly attached to the device. The camera also contributes to my computer usage because I love to photo shop my pictures and edit my videos myself.
