This blog I feel is very cryptic. It’s like I write about my deepest emotions, yet I don’t allow anyone near. This is part of my own protectiveness, but to be truthful I don’t have any secrets to keep. I just rush to finish the day so that the next one comes faster and I don’t invest myself in raw real emotions. I’m noticing that I don’t truly pay attention to everything that surrounds me.
This year is exciting. I have a couple of ideas I’d like to finally execute, starting off with my new “Dailies” category: I’d like to challenge myself to take a photo of anything every day and post it here, unfiltered and unedited. The new posts will not be featured on the homepage carousel (for now) and will be instead found under the new “Photos” section.
To all my other posts I attach photos I’ve made with my Nikon D3300 camera and only recently I started to edit most of them – recolour, resize, crop etc. It’s not a small camera to carry everywhere with me and it takes a couple of seconds to get ready for a picture, which is why I’ve decided that for my “Dailies” category I’d attach photos I make with my iPhone 12 camera, which I have to admit I’m yet to learn how to fully control, hence the heavy HDR look to them in the beginning. I’ll make sure to clear that after a couple of posts. But using my phone allows me to directly post the photo I made, no time wasted.
Originally, I had the idea for the “Dailies” practically a year ago and was supposed to kick it off in 2024, but New Year’s found me unprepared for it and I had no plan how to post them, and so I postponed it for this year. I guess it’s nothing original, I can literally post stories on my Instagram profile, but this blog is my own corner of the internet and I get to use it however i want to.
