Steem has got me gassed

Talk about gassed!!!

Most of my friends must think I am going nuts but steemit has got me gassed!

I'm fortunate ( wealthy even) to have a great number of positive people around me whom I can call family at this point in my life and I've been telling them about steem 1 by 1!

Now I've been on at my lil bro @michaelvenompage for ages to get on the platform yet at the same time I had set up my profile around this time last year but not done much myself!

Now some of you may know Mike fights professional MMA as well as boxing now and what you may not know but will soon find out is that he is a very down to earth open minded individual always looking for knowledge. This is one of the reasons I wanted to get him on here as I know he can add some positive vibes to this platform and also some different interesting content.

After reading through the site after I first joined I had written up a few things and then thought to myself I don't really have much interesting content (or at least I thought I didn't) so did not just want to make this simply another Facebook or Instagram.

I'm so glad in a way it turned out like that as it pushed me to think a little bit more about what I was doing and where I was going. After some time spent with friends and family in Germany for the Xmas and new year I decided to buy a camera and start a project (@hardgraff39) which focused on taking pictures of Graffiti around UK and the rest of the world.

I started in February this year and found that this was the perfect project for me! It got me out of the house ( I'd just been recovering from a groin injury and due to lack of training and bad diet I was just not doing things to my full potential) and excited about what I was going to find and where I was going to end up.

Only 4 different projects in by March and I get a shout from a good friend ( another brother from another) @dragoni who can feel my passion about this project so has scouted a site in Stockholm with some amazing graffiti!

So I jump on a plane ( Which I love by the way) and hook up with my bro! He takes me to this spot and POW!!!!
Over 2hrs and 2000+ shots later the Stockholm Sweed Graffiti Shoot is born!

Since then I've had the privilege of going to some great spots and meeting some great people in relation to this project! Highlights being working with some old school and new school graffiti artists also working on another international project in Japan! (Which I'm still currently posting up despite being back a few months)

This has triggered my urge to now start general photography projects (Under Terty9 Photography on Instagram) as well as getting the opportunity to work with a professional photographer this year things just keep growing in terms of the opportunities for me to expand this which all started with a prompt from Steemit!

I have to thank the main man @nanzo-scoop for putting me on to this and showing me the potential of this site.

I enjoy reading and writing and believed I just didn't have any good content of my own (something for people to appreciate and hopfully inspire) to contribute to the site.

This along with the podcast Talk Too Mucking Fuch (TalkTMF) and alongside other projects out side of this I will be planning at the end of this year for next year (1 international project already planned with tickets booked and another project which I hope to be able to tell you about in the summer which if all goes well will be a great contribution to some youths and hopfully some adults as well)

@nanzo-scoop has me working on his Fit@40 project on Steemit (session 3 to be posted soon)

So thanks to steemit instead of going to work and coming home and feeling sorry for my injured self I'll have more than my work cut out for me next year and hopefully I can interact with a few more of you lovely steemies (have already seen a few profiles with some interesting content that I'll be interacting with more)

I'm glad I got Mikes on here as he is such an influential person both in and out of the cage and although he has grown up like my lil brother he is wise beyond his years and I have great respect for the person he has grown in to!

Steemies feel free to give some advice or even promote others who may have a similar intrest that I may want to follow once you get to know me. I'd love to do either a graffiti project or general photography project with a Steemie! (If any of you are out in Berlin I will be there over the easter in March 2018)

Take care and keep steeming on ;)
