Best Friend: A Blog Post

Sometimes, just looking at an image reminds of you the possibility of life, specifically on how a day can do. My best friend Jemal managed to do that for me today. I don’t know if he realizes how much of an influence he has been in my life. We started as law school colleagues, part of the SCALE program at Southwestern School of Law, not realizing that we would still be keeping in touch more than a decade later. Our days are Thursday as I happen to have a weekly meeting in morning near his house, and in those few hours we manage to keep each other sane. I think I get the better end of the deal as he has to hear my incessant whining about something or the other. As much as he will hate this blog post, I could not resist the opportunity to acknowledge his brilliance as an attorney but also his creative side.

If you follow this blog in any sort of way, you will notice that a majority of the images are by Jemal’s amazing photography. His images manage to always move me with their intense focus and simplicity. He manages to say more in one image than I can with a 1000 word post. Each of us have something that is uniquely ours to own, and Jemal has made photography his bitch. Sometimes, you have to let the ones close to you know how much they mean to you. Love ya bro!
