You are not the storm. You are the sky that the storm passes through.
Ok na, Jen. Tama na.

I liked the lines and colors in this one.

I only just got around to listening to this now, even though the album has been out for a few months already.

Of course no one else sings this like Koji Tamaki, but I absolutely love this really tender, more restrained cover of ‘Melody.’ Shiho Ochi’s voice is perfect for this song. 🌻

Comms team idea to cosplay as software we use. Naturally, I want Lightroom. 😏

There are photos I took that I couldn't bear to look at for the longest time because they reminded me of a really difficult period. This is one of these photos.

I recently opened up those folders and from the sheer volume, now I know: No matter how dark that time was, I was always making pictures.

Perhaps it's just one of those days. 😐 But God, I'm just really tired.

Yesterday I did something that both surprised and terrified me all in the same moment. I volunteered to photograph 2 upcoming events. Actually, it was more proactive and confident than I'm making it sound. That's what surprised me, plus the fact that there was no hesitation to ask. Who even am I?

It's one of those mornings.

Easy there, Jen. You're okay.

The irony of me working for the same academic institution (not the same campus, but close enough) that my parents worked for once upon a time.

Power out. I can hear the wind and rain. I can feel my pulse. The feeling of being on edge is always the same.

Beneath it there's anger. We've all been let down by a broken system, and by the people that keep those systems in place.

For now, I'll set down the anger until the storm passes.

Can't sleep, so I turn to music. As a queer girl, ‘About U’ is one of those albums that really got under my skin.

Right now
It's like you're carrying all the weight of your past
I could tell all your bruises, yellow, dark blue, and black
But baby a bruise is, only your body
Tryna keep you intact

I used to have a Nikon FM2; 3 lenses; motor drive; set of filters. This was back when I was in my teens. A friend of the family had gifted the kit to me, because he saw how much I loved fooling around with my dad's Pentax.

That camera was lost (long story). I still wonder about it today.

Working late (and likely will be up for a while). Just taking a brief break to get some air. I have no idea if I'm just tired, but I'm in a pensive mood.

Is this the time
For one more try
At a happy life
What do you say
Is this unwise
To think my fears
Will not reprise"

I have a friend that I met over a decade ago at an open mic, but we've stayed in touch online over the years. Not very consistently, but when life/the world/circumstances have aligned our energies in a way that feels natural, we tend to just pick up where we left off. (1/)

Didn't get to sleep until close to 4am and was up by 8am, so I'm paying for it now. Haha 🥲

Perhaps this is what it's like to be in love with life. Perhaps this is what it's like to want to be here.

In between work tasks (every moment I can spare), I sort through photos I've taken over the years. There's a lifetime's worth and I'm equally grateful for, and daunted by the volume I have to go through.

Still... If I was looking for proof that this is what I long to do, well this is it.

What are the things that enchant you?

For me, it's light and shadow. (Perhaps I mean that figuratively as well as literally.)
