The benefits of connecting with your peers in real life go far beyond enjoying a nice coffee every now and then - though that's definitely a plus. It's a way of sounding off ideas, forming meaningful relationships, experiencing new places, becoming involved in collaborative projects, and a contributing factor to making us feel satisfied and content in life. Well, it is for this guy anyway. I spend a lot of time alone, beavering away to try and make this freelance lark work, so when I do get the chance to visit a new town or city for work I always enjoy hooking up with the people that I've made connections with online.
On a recent trip to Birmingham to shoot in the Liquor Store I took the opportunity to meet up with Ming Nham, a man of many talents and many wise words to share. We explored Ming's city, visiting the insane looking city library, the Ikon Gallery, a few independent stores and stopped for a quick break in Faculty Coffee. I need more of this in 2015 please - more exploring, more connecting, more real life.
I'll be in London for a few days next week, so if anyone fancies meeting then just drop me a line.
