She stepped out for a quiet moment with her coffee, not posing, just being. I made this frame in the in-between.

My work is available on Ko-fi, portraits, travel, and intimate black-and-white sets.

I have always loved air travel, airplanes, et al. so much so i wanted to be an aviator, sadly this was not to be, that being said i still want to slowly work toward getting my private pilots license.

I went to a cafe in Cebu called Coffee Bay. They have this thing called a crofle (?sp). I got the one with Kaya, apparently coconut jam, not very sweet it’s just a LOT of jam!
📷 Camera: Fujifilm XS20 w/Fujifilm XF16mm f/1.4 lens.

I like going to Starbucks in the Philippines and seeing their food offerings, which differ from what I’m used to. This is called Spanish Tuna Pan de Sal; it’s nice and a bit of a spice!
