I feel like I haven’t been in the road in a while. Four months without a trip seems too long, but in a way, I still have my calendar full. I haven’t been writing too, just scribbles here and there, and every time I get this urge to sit and just write because I just can’t not do it. It comes with photographing too. I decided to rest last month, catch up on my reading and finish on my watch list. It’s a breath of fresh air, a resurfacing from when I was drowning myself in my schedule, but all the while I just wanted to hold on to my camera, look through the view finder, and look for something magical to put still forever. But the rest was much-needed, to recharge and rethink, a necessity to move on with a clear mind, so that’s what I did.
It was an easy, casual shoot especially when you're with one of your closest college buddies! We had our fifi date (from Fifi Lapin, the fashionable bunny) and we just had to have a shoot. This happened. She said her boyfriend is tired of seeing grass, (and so am I, a bit, but I still think it's pretty!) and this lady over here remembered this awesome graffiti place that she passes by on her way to work. So we had to do it. This. In a public area, along the busy main road.
A throwback of our first shoot ever. A few months after our graduation. I was on caffeine the other night and I was so inspired when I saw these old photos. Drunk in nostalgia, I tried a new twist.
Hello, I'm Ira.
There are three things that have become constant in my life so far: my love for taking photos, my penchant for traveling, and my utter need for writing. Welcome to my little notebook of dreams and daydreams.
