FINALLY TAKING BOOKINGS AGAIN!

All Thanks to up high, I was able to get a car! In this blog post, I'm just going over the new changes and my upcoming goals. Check out the full post below!

/// DATE: FEB 11, 2026 // TIME: 03:04 AMFINALLY TAKING BOOKINGS AGAIN!

I've been overly depressed without a car. There has been this dark cloud over me and I haven't felt very productive. I'm proud to say that these feelings can now be gone where they stand. I finally have a car and I am once again able to take bookings.

In the time that I've been gone, I've made some major changes to my website, and though I have a little bit of cleaning up to do, I'm proud of this outcome. A lot of pieces on this website required coding, and I allowed myself to be picky. This is officially the perfect hub for all information about Kosmic Kole and I hope to continue to expand and share my work on here.

From here, my goal is to restart on my goals of starting and running a film lab here in Greensboro, but I will also be taking limited bookings, and posting some discounted concepts. Y'all might think this nerdy of me, but something I've been thinking about a lot is doing content. I have never seen myself as a content creator but I'm trying to expand my outreach and I think this may be a good time to try since I've been sitting idle for so long. I've made some goals (see below) that I'm going to try to get done

I'm going to sign out now but Thank you to continue to watch and support my development as an artist, photographer, and future small business owner. Feel free to reach out now that I am available!!
