Mm hmm. It's funny because I think now people see me as an artist photographer, though sometimes people when I when I'm there, they still ask me if I can if I can get their kid into a program or, you know, how I can help the kid connect with a college. But a slight tangent, why I call the film Hell County this morning, this evening is because it's not Hell County. It's my Hill County.
