so i have added these links to different pages with different content on them, please check them out as well. they are not (as of yet) overflowing with stuff, but that shall change. in the future it will most likely also be so that my photography will only be in the section ‘my photography’ and this front page will be, indeed, more of a front page with… BREAKING NEWS… or something equally (if not more) interesting.
stay tuned..
A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world
A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
That God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the Earth
A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world
-Iron & Wine
i have officially decided to leave the project 365 behind and especially be done with mourning over my digital slr. i have yet again found the fantastic pleasure of shooting film and i am even considering this wild thought of not purchasing a digital camera in the near-by future. i have always found that the quality of my photographs are many times better when shooting film, it must have something to do with the fact that with digital it is easy to just click away without necessarily giving it a second thought. whereas film, you don’t want to waste it.
so i have been shooting with an slr that i bought 8 years ago. at first, i must admit, i had some difficulties shooting with it. i suppose i felt since i have had a better camera, why should i take one step (or more!) back…i know, such a childish (and snob-ish!) way of thinking. well good news people, i have grown past that. i am just so happy to be photographing again and that’s all i care about. whatever camera i can get my hands on, that is what i will use.
and so, i am back! this blog is going to be a little different but still majorly focused on photography. i hope you will find this one more enjoyable, and as always, feedback is highly appreciated!
here are a few examples of my summer time minolta slr photography! enjoy!

(happy birthday, mom!)
i have been undecided as to what to do with this little blog of mine. my cell phone is so crappy that i don’t even have a cord to connect it to my laptop, so i can’t use that for photos. then i do have the built-in webcam for my laptop but obviously it is a little limiting, but what the heck, i decided to give it a try regardless. so here it is. a picture. a new update. i am so looking forward to the time when i get to play with depth of field again.
the camera is still missing (please keep your eyes open for it, people! it is a canon 40d with a 50mm lens that has a broken focus button). however, after being in mourning for some amount of days, i decided to take out my analogue camera and go about it with a zoom 80-200mm lens. it is not at all the most practical lens, but it’s all i’ve got and i’ll be damned if i’ll let that stop me! it will take some time to get them all up here since it is film, and i don’t have access to our facilities in school anymore. BUT, not to worry, losing this camera (but even more so, going day by day WITHOUT a camera) shook me to the core and made me realize how much i really, truly, madly and deeply love photography.so i’m thinking, this is not an ending, it is a beginning.
dear people, i lost my camera. and now i am in a land of nothingness, where images aren’t created, and moments aren’t frozen.
i am desperately trying to find my camera. if anyone knows anything about it, please let me know. it is a canon 40d.
