I am many things.
If you found this from my artsier Instagram page, you’ll already know that I often prefer to have words to go along with my images.
Call it vanity, call it ADHD, I just sometimes need people to know what I think. This is the space for me to discuss that.
This is also the space for me to write voluminously at/about/around pictures I take. It’s a safe bet, at this point, that I “yearn to be a street photographer”.
(Hence the title.)
As such, this blog will be random writings couched in the language of “here’s words needed to make more sense of the world around me”.
This intro, like me (and us all), is a work in progress.
Checking off a list
But as I’ve also talked about, playing with light as it interacts with film had become an endless fascination as well. And sometimes journeys through the streets also helped force me play with what I saw as it came into my camera.
“I have an idea”
To add, I still had a number of rolls of film sitting in my fridge. I had a few more things planned (blogs coming soon!), but also wanted to avoid bringing more extra film home than needed. I would bring some home, certainly, but wanted to minimize it.
Finally going where the people are
The lights of Seoul felt brighter that night. I’m glad I had a good lens and film to capture them with.
Cinestill 400d, golden hour, and you
My Canon 5D Mark IV and 24-70 2.8* were on their way, so my ‘family’, such as it was, was going to get bigger. And, as one does, I wanted to take my A-1 out for a spin before it was about to be outshone (such as it was) by someone else. So on a balmy Friday night, I took a few rolls out with my camera and went into the city.
