Being back home for the weekend, two childhood friends decide to catch up while taking pictures of their hometown, but it’s not much of a “stroll down memory lane” for the one friend who never got his chance to leave.

Good Years Gone was a retaliation project. I had just finished working on a big +30 people project with a budget of $10,000 and was ready to dive back into my 4-5 people projects again. Guerilla style.

I wrote Good Years Gone without realizing that it was about two halves of myself. The one ready to leave and the one who was already missing my hometown. I knew I wanted to tell this story about Akron being this "rustbelt town" but being beautiful and special in its own right.

Every positive has a negative and every light casts a shadow, whether we realize it or not.
