An ongoing look into the photographs of Osmyn Oree

A Brothers Motivation

“Get out and live son!!! Ur not the sit at home in ur room kinda person. Ur personality is made to be shared with people. It’s the reason ur so good at photography. People connect with the Oree boys on a deeper level very quickly and it’s something that can’t be bottled up, kept in a room or slowed down. Ur an amazing artist but more than that ur an irreplaceable little brother…there’s only up from here…love you kid”-Owen Oree(my older brother)

I saw this on my facebook this morning when i woke up and it  made me feel… sad but confident. Lately I have been dealing with personal issues regarding my life and photography and what i want to do with my career. I have noticed that people around me want me to leave the area i live in and make a move to  bigger city like New York or Philadelphia and i understand that. I feel distant from everyone lately and i feel like im going back to a place where i was in 2007. I was depressed and not feeling well about life in general and i don’t ever want to go back there ever! I WANT to get out of this town but it is not as easy as everyone tells me or perceives it to be. I cant just move away to a place with little money and no car what so ever. I’ve realized in the past few months that i need to GROW UP AND SHUT UP and get my ass moving because sitting around moping won’t help at all. I can’t depend on others anymore like I’ve done all my life whether its with my parents or anyone else. It’s time for me, Osmyn Oree, to get out there and stop being a baby and start growing up.Stop living in the past and start living in the now. I wont let my talents and ambition go to waste and i wont fail the people that support me and ultimately myself! A good friend of mine once said that “You don’t want to wake up one day, 30, unhappy and still living in Lancaster not following your dreams.”
