I walked down the street the other day, going about some errands. After some time, I realized that I was strolling with hands clasped behind my back. I couldn't help but smile. Have I unlocked another level? I chuckled to myself. Have you ever found yourself doing the same? It's usually something I see older folk do, almost as if they have finally found a way to be content with the journey that they are on—letting their feet find their way while their hands find comfort in the rhythm of their steps.

We all have our own journeys, and with that, our own stories, the ones we wrote ourselves, the ones others have written about us, and the remnants of those passed down to us by others. These stories and moments shape us, and they leave traces of themselves behind as they silently whisper their secrets into the world.

Through the power of the blockchain and my Hidden Stories contract, we created a beautiful convergence of my photography and my fascination with hidden stories, allowing collectors to leave their traces behind by adding their own hidden story to each HS NFT they own.

These stories will be cemented onto the blockchain, with another story being added every time they pass hands, connecting us all.
