My Hometown

It has been a very long time since I last made a blog post. During this time of quarantine, I’ve been staying busy through schoolwork and my occupation at Saint Peter’s University as a graduate assistant. It hasn’t always been easy to stay focused but I’ve been trying my best. One of the ways I kept myself occupied was by creating this documentary video of my hometown of Stony Point, New York. I had put in a lot of work on this project since December and published it to YouTube on May 15. It has over 100 views, which for me, is very impressive.

It was a challenge to get the shots that I wanted but I really think the video came a long way. Additionally, I also uploaded another video to my channel based on an abandoned building complex in the town of Haverstraw. This place is called, “Letchworth Village,” and it’s been featured on numerous television shows such as “Ghost Adventures,” due to its reputation as being a haunted location. This video is much shorter than my Stony Point video because there’s only so much you can show and the fact that you cannot physically go inside the buildings because it is against the law.

I put in a lot into these two videos and feel like I could use a brief break to really think about my next project. I don’t know exactly what my next video will focus on but if I want to make it on YouTube, the only way to do so is if I keep publishing almost every single week. Eventually, the hard work will pay off and people will tune in. But for now, I’m only at 33 subscribers which is fine, I’m very patient.

I know that one day I’ll be able to say I’ve got 1,000 subs, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll do that one day. But it’s been a long time since I’ve published something on this blog and here it is. It isn’t too long but I’ll start doing it more frequently from here on out.
