The seth blog
Well, hello there. My name is Seth Van Camp. I'm an amateur photographer, filmmaker, and overall classically confused 25 year old. I'm just some guy with too many things to say, and only so much time to say them. I tend to write about whatever I can't get out of my brain, which usually ends up being about music, sports, film, or culture. I am one of those guys that always hated and dreaded writing. Throughout High School, I had a tutor in English just to get by. It was only in the summer of 2017 that I realized writing wasn't about your grammatical knowledge or how you positioned your thesis statement. Writing is about the ideas you have and communicating them in a way that resonates with others.
We all have something to offer when it comes to writing and I would love for you to engage with my material and offer feedback or criticism on anything you read. Writing is something that I enjoy about 50% of the time, but ultimately makes me a better person, so I want to continue to improve. If you have any suggestions for topics to write about, please don't be afraid to send me an email or a text and I will gladly run with it. If you would like to collaborate on a piece, I would love that as well. I work best when I have the opportunity to bounce ideas off of others, so the more the merrier. I do this for growth, for fun, and to challenge the notions that others presume to be true. If you like what you read, do me a solid and share my thoughts with those around you. Thanks.
