It is still a big world
there are still
a lot of things to do
and there is still
some time to do them.
So go.
so go
left behind
This is what I’ve been feeling since 2014. It didn’t matter that I held on for so long with pleas, promises and, prayers. They still leave. It didn’t matter that I shed tears for many, many months. I still get left behind.
The last one to leave was my brother — the last one I have.
My world fell quiet. And I felt alone.
off social
I’ve have been slowly getting off social media. I’m not actually deleting my socmed accounts. I’m just not actively posting or visiting most of them anymore. I was thinking it was better for my mental health to lay off it — too much angst, I think. I will likely dip back into it on an as-needed basis which is mostly admin stuff.
a monochrome experiment
I have always liked monochromes — black & whites or sepias. On a recent trip to Puerto Galera, Mindoro I took plenty of color photos but I also took a handful of monotones.
I wanted to see how the places I visited would look like in sepia rather than in the traditional colored photographs. I was surprised the photos invoked a feeling that I was back in that period of time in the early 1900s and there wasn’t much people around.
Photo notes:
The photos did not go through any post processing save for the waterfalls which I scaled down to meet the maximum upload size of the blogging software. The images were taken with a Canon EOS 100D in one of the programmable monochrome modes which I set myself. The lens is a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM set
A February Weekend
+ Click on the image to enlarge it
I went to San Pablo one February weekend to get some duties done and to test and get familiar with this lens I got. I am quite used to using a 50mm prime lens and I want to see what photos I can get with a 24 – 35mm wide angle zoom. The image above is one moment I was able to record and more will be posted here in the coming months.
