Haven’t worn these for the longest time, it felt like meeting up and hugging an old close friend I haven’t seen in ages. Haha. Mushy much? But really, there is a certain comfort in wearing these ragged shoes which has seen me through ups and downs since college. I somehow feel more me when I have these on, if that makes any sense.
So yeah. The two photos above are products of the shoot I had with some friends earlier. We had no set specific theme, nor models but we were all raring to shoot so we had to make do with ourselves. And ended up having fun and a few decent photos to boot.
Damn, I missed shooting. Even with a camera with no Auto-Focus to speak of. I know I oughtta get it repaired but I never really had the time–and manual focusing has actually grown on me. And please do pardon me for feeling a certain pride in taking relatively sharp photos despite my camera’s shortcomings. Haha.
For the shoot I wore a comfortably ratty shirt, old pants and beat-up chucks. Not that I was making a statement of sorts. But I guess unconsciously I was in a nostalgic mood. Maybe that’s why I shot mostly in high-contrast monochrome. Or.. whatever. I just am missing some stuff from my former life, I guess. Mostly my old self.
Sometimes I feel so ancient, yet so naive at the same time. In my mid-twenties, but I still think, feel and act like a kid most of the time. And yeah, wishfully thinking I still look like a kid too. Haha.
real nice photos sis… even the blurred self-portrait 🙂 love black and white photos. Wish my point and shoot camera have the black and white option… sadly, there’s none.
thanks sis! 🙂 but i gotta admit that those are not self-portraits, i had a friend take some pictures of me using my camera. 😛
most digicams nowadays have a setting for monochrome photography, maybe you just haven’t found the right setting yet?
