Photography

My companions and I used to roam the roads, not doing much, because the scenery was so gorgeous, all I had to do was point and click. You might wonder, who were my companions? A Fujifilm XA3 and a super old Redmi Note 8 were my trusty sidekicks. Sadly, they've both retired. The XA3 started showing its age with some ‘liver spots,’ and the Redmi was spirited away by a pickpocket.

Oh, and Fujifilm, Xiaomi, if you're reading this, I’d be delighted to discuss a sponsorship. Just saying. Haha!

Updated 2025: I added a Konica C35 into the collection. 4/6 film rolls will remain eternal darkness, quietly driving me into a film existential crisis spiral.

A Zen moment

Occasionally, I’d stop for a chat with newfound friends and sneak a peek into their world (with their permission, of course). But most of the time, I was alone, mesmerized by the sunrise, letting the sea breeze wash away my tension, standing on a mountain ridge enjoying the lively morning sounds from the village below, savoring local cuisine, and enduring the chill of a winter night. I silently admired the landscapes with all my senses, and sometimes, it even stimulated me to compose a poem or write down my thoughts, carrying with me a wealth of experiences and stories.

Another me writing about my life (maybe I’ll publish a book, not so much filled with musings, but more like a collection of my life’s mumblings).
