This is a part of the wall just above my headboard. I try to print some of my film scans to remind me of, I don’t know exactly, moments? stillness? Maybe just something to make me hold tighter to the grip of wanting to chase film photography more, or at least photography in that matter. All I know is that film excites me. It makes me look forward to something, to what else I will learn next, to what else there is. Not being so sure of the future, but I hope feel this is not an ordinary phase that I usually jump into. I want to be able to hold on to this and say that this is mine, and be owned back as well.
We’re halfway through the year, and these six photos coincidentally represent moments of the first half that has been dear to me. I have made certain adjustments in life, things that I would never even have fathom doing or not doing before, but now it feels just right in. I’m sure I wouldn’t even scratch off half of the things I said I would do or be when the year started, but I’m feeling just fine with the way things are. Fine is not good, you’ll say. But fine is enough for me to dream more, and disappoint less.
I’m keeping it simple, but not simpler :)
