I like to edit my photos in that I recreate the sense of awe I had at that exact moment, the fresh atmosphere and giddiness or gloom it made me feel. I wish to convey that unique ambiance in these photographs. I also am a fan of analog film cameras so I try to edit as close to Kodak Portra or Agfa rolls, but can never fake it!
I wish I had more time to develop. (yes! I develop my own film hihi)
Taken at dawn on a foggy saturday morning, a short pacific northwest drizzle just before we stop by the church, we had to make the most out of our time. Here’s a nice diffused lighting weather, or as I would say in real life, “lakas maka-korean drama feels besh” lol
Makes me realize how much God really get us. As I bloom towards my career, life suddenly tilts to an uphill battle. A lot of successful people won’t disclose the emotional, mental, physical rollercoaster of transitioning into adulthood, that’s why I get why some people settle in mediocrity, despises the thriving nature of maturity and relaxes on stagnation.
It’s hard to balance being true to who you are and stressing about facts that day jobs will put you in difficult situations you’re too naive to handle, so you think becoming the ideal person you think is qualified would make your life better. If you do this, you will be proven otherwise. The phrase “fake it till you make it” doesn’t really sound right, cause unless you know what is lacking, unless you know what is wrong, will you be able to get it it right. There is a time for everything as it says in Ecclesiastes, God gets us, we are frail, and in this world, every emotion is valid. Maybe not indefinitely, but at least feel it intensely at least once, and move forward from there on. It’s so amazing how traveling and experiencing places makes you realize how much God wants to connect with you.
I hope you’d feel what Seattle made me feel in these photos. P.S. I tried :)
