Irsquo;ve also found peace in art. Wether that means looking at it, watching it happen, or creating it. I went through ideas of writing a book, creating a magazine, sewing clothes, modelling. And then I just really committed to the thing I had access to during a pandemic - photography. br/ br/I began taking pictures on a vintage film camera about 6 years ago now. Eventually I upgraded, and began using the Nikon system. I had always loved taking backstage photos while working on shows. Once our rehearsal processed stop because of covid, I really pushed myself to use my camera more - I would go for drives and take pictures of anything and everything, giving myself little photography assignments to complete. br/Eventually I decided to share it via an Instagram account @coltoncurtis.jpg, and my little business took off. I couldnrsquo;t be more thankful.
