PSoul•US 🏳️🌈I met someone amazing today.
I needed to buy something on Facebook Marketplace. Just an external SSD, something to do quick backups of a server.
Found a promising one, messaged and we decided to meetup at a bar so I could bring a laptop and make sure the SSD worked. Well, today in SF, as you all know, it rained! So I stayed for a beer as I didn't want to bike back in the rain.
The guy ended up being this absolutely fascinating former tech worker now photographer, from Jordan.
We ended up talking a lot about art, school, MFAs, home, belonging, the state of the world... He had sent an application to the CCA the day before they announced they were closing but now he's going back to the middle east to study.
The most fascinating part of the conversation was just me listening to how much he wanted to express through his art. How all of his art had some purpose, meaning, message. Listening to him explain his inspiration was so touching. I love San Francisco.
