Yep! It’s coming up! I’d say I really like how different kinds of lighting affect the tone. You?

@mineralizedwritings Working away at my job! Some nephews and nieces have been around, including a brand new little girl. YouTube video 2 out of 10 is done. I’m waiting on my voice to come back so that I can record the song for my next video. It’s actually a song I wrote, for my big brother. Lord willing it’ll be acted out by Lego guys.
