I liked the lines and colors in this one.

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.

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.

Manifesting. 🙌🏻✨

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.)

Piecing together fragments of myself by revisiting the past.

I now realize that I've always been taking pictures. Ever since I was 14 and begged to be enrolled in a summer photo + darkroom workshop. Ever since I first pressed the shutter on my father's old Pentax.

I've always been chasing light.

Work done. Now post-processing photos. Minsan, tinatanong ko sa sarili ko kung ano ba itong pinasukan ko. Minsan napapagod din ako ng sobra. But I'm here. I said I would try to take this as far as I can. And I will.

What I would have given for a better camera. 🥲

Still... that whole thing was magic. As usual.

Covering the Zombie Walk today be like.

Small shifts that feel momentous. The reframing is the portal.

This is who I am now. Even though it scares me.

Tonight's game very nearly ended in a TPK. 😭 I absolutely detest Gelatinous Cubes. Omg.

Still, the party lives to adventure another day.

Tomorrow night is game night (thank goodness for that). I think that our DM is planning something though. My bard character, Ryven is wondering what this is all about. 🤔 Lol

Hurried home from dinner with friends for this. Lol 😅

Ages ago I'd given up on this particular dream. I'm grateful to have been given the unexpected opportunity to revive it.

And though I'm physically tired from the whole day shooting, I haven't been this happy in so long.

(Phone shot. Sorting, editing, & uploading the proper camera photos tomorrow.)

"When there's no noise, everything that needs to rise, rises."

That's so true. Grateful to Jen Mann of Somia International for this reminder.
