I created 1DOWN on October 29, 1996.  This has been 28 years of the most amazing times of my life! 

Welcome to my website

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name in the Industry is Goldie DeWitt, but my real name is DeWitt, and yes that’s me in the picture. I am the owner and webmaster of this web site. Throughout the last few years, things in my life have taken a very serious twist, and a lot of sacrificing has been done. I look at life as a privilege, and if you are not being productive, your privileges will be taken away, in one way or another. I can now admit, I had my share of running the streets and getting myself into very bad situations, and praying that I made it out, and every time I told my self that was the last time. But now, I’ve reached the cross road in my life where I don’t think I can afford to make any mistakes. It seems like everything I do is monitored and magnified, but I have come to except it, because it actually helps keep me on my toes. 

I am very happy and comfortable in my life right now, and I enjoy what I do. I’ve never been a selfish person, or a person full of greed. I mention this because I see so much of it everyday, and it reminds me of how special I am. I love to make people happy, and I will always be a leader. Giving my all in everything I do makes me feel good about myself and my work. I can’t predict the future and I don’t know what god has in store for me, but I know if I continue to do right, there’s no way I can go wrong. I’ve always had a liking to computers and photography, and I never knew it would lead me to happiness. My passion for computers and photography is growing stronger everyday, and I love it! I thank god, that I enjoy sitting in front of my computer for hours and hours soaking up and learning as much as I can to further my knowledge to keep up with the digital divide that many people are not even aware of. I almost catch myself using computer terms in my conversations, and I catch myself feeling embarrassed like “Wow I need to kick back, I’m turning into a fucken nerd.” But hey, I know what’s best for me, and if it was not for my computer and my camera, I know for a fact, you would not be reading this right now.

I would like to say thank you for reading this post and sharing your time with me as I gave you some inside on the man behind this web site. So, take it from me, be strong, follow your heart, and don’t let no body hold you back! **I actually wrote this sometime back in 1999.

Respectfully,

Goldie DeWitt
