Memoirs and musings of Darius Bashar. Toronto portrait photographer and writer, in pursuit of all things real, raw and intimate. 

Imagine all the friends...

 

This is Reza. I met him at an event I was invited to speak at 3 years ago. 

The event is called Fuck Up Nights Toronto and approximately 200 people showed up to hear me and three other speakers brag about our most colossal life mistakes. 

It was a healing moment for me, as I got to share one of my biggest business mistakes publicly in a way that allowed me to finally forgive myself and let go. 

Fast forward to 3 years later: Reza and I are on a Zoom call talking about our upcoming photoshoot. 

I loved collaborating with Reza. 

There was instant creative chemistry between us and we flowed effortlessly. 

It took 3 years from the first meeting at that event for us to reconnect. 

It makes me wonder… who will I create with 3 years from now that I might have just met in passing yesterday? 

And imagine all the friends we haven’t even met yet!
