I may or may have not posted these photos already, I don't know. I am obviously traversing my blogging journey this year slow, almost dragging. My update frequency has gone down to 2 per month, heh.
I am not going to lie, I have been contemplating if I should still maintain this kind of blog. The photography part is safe, that I can tell you. Film and cameras still excite me in a progressive pace. Matter of fact, I am saving up for my first medium format camera. You can never be complacent with film photography, I guess. There's always something interesting, and different. Always something new to learn.
Just this blogging thing.. I'm in this state where I question the purpose of it all. Why am I doing it? Sometimes I want to keep it like back in the days. Treat it like an online diary, and talk about things that I usually fangirl about. Other times, I want it to be a simple photo blog. Sometimes, I think I can pull it off like a dump blog, where I can just talk about anything and treat it like the void. And when I couldn't decide, in the end, I just stay away from it altogether.
Also not sure If I'm going to renew my domain for another year. Again, I've started to question, what's the point?
And then like a broken record, my eternal battle with writing, and sharing. Insecurity in this department is strong. It's been such a struggle, almost a suffering. Quite ironic, because I had the energy to blab about all this now.

ANYWAY, here are some photos of the Petronas Towers from last year. I love standing in front of them, and be engulfed by the size and majesty. Still not immune with its presence even for a second visit. As if they a have life of their own.
I think you should treat it whatever feels right at the moment, depending on your mood. I'll always see your site as a photo blog, but it sure feels good to read about what you're thinking or whatever you're into as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay on the medium format camera! It's film enthusiasts like you that also inspire me to keep going, apart from the magic it brings to me.
"Quite ironic, because I had the energy to blab about all this now." --same here! LOL!
Btw, these are awesome night photos! Almost as if they were taken using a digital camera. You even captured a couple of stars!
I hope you keep writing about and capturing great moments like these and shouldn't be too hard on yourself! :)
Thank you, Mars :) I appreciate this more than I could tell you. There are a lot of blogs out there, and it's nice when people reach out to me like this, even when they/you don't have to. Will keep your comment in mind.
DeleteUgh, can't tell you how anxious, excited and POOR I am with this MF camera purchase hahaha. But I have to keep the flame burning. It's nice to know this blog is a part of someone's inspiration to shoot film as well. It's the least I can do for the film photography community, I guess.
About these photos, I'm surprised at how these turned out too. So much so that I feel like I didn't shoot these myself haha. Great eye on the stars! I didn't even catch them myself. Are they really stars or speckles of dust? :D :D
Thanks for the word, Mars. Made my heart swell :)
I blog for no special reason at all. There are lots of blog post that I published that I didn't post on facebook. But I'm happy about it and I don't know why. haha
ReplyDeleteYou may want to go see Burj Khalifa in Dubai. I kept on staring at it even from far away. heh
I used to be content on writing for myself too. Just lately, I find it hard to even see the point on doing it for myself.
DeleteBurj Khalifa is a stunner. I remember seeing them in your photos! But might take a while before I could visit it haha. Thanks, Larry!
The Petronas Towers never fail to impress me haha. And you captured them beautifully!! Parang nandyan lang talaga sa harap ko at nakatingala ako sa kanila. :) Please keep writing! I also like reading your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to toot my own horn, but I don't know how I exactly captured this in perfect exposure hahaha. Nagulat din ako. I was just lucky the meter in my camera was working haha.
DeleteThanks for the encouragement, Bea :)
