UNINSPIRED



stayed home the whole day just to rest and change my summer clothes out from the closet... and while i tidy up the room, i saw the postcards that my cousin got for me from macau... it was a series of postcards that were snapshots of macau... they were crossed processed and has this yellow tints to it... has a very old feeling of it... it titled <澳門難忘> i really like that set of postcard because that is how i remember macau... when i first got it, i thought it looked very familiar... then i dug up a book that i got when i was in macau for 2 months.. <澳門朋友帶我遊澳門>... i got that book simply because that's a picture book...

i love picture books and travelogues... hence why i love chet lam's book because it's written it as half travelogue and half experience... and picture books because i simply don't like to read as much, and of coz a picture worth a thousand words... i always want to take photos... i know i know.. i'm a photographer, of coz i should be doing that anyway... but it seems that i'm not inspire to take pictures that i like... pictures that are meaningful to me... like snapshots...

maybe it's my degree in photography, seems like everything picture i take must be perfect... and color is vibrate... i love raw pictures... but i just can't take them... i don't want to take pictures and sit in front of the computer and manipulate the picture in photoshop... i do that everyday already... i want to just take and go...

i used to have lots of idea of what to photograph before i started photography school... and going thru my older pictures of buildings that i took... i remember how excited i was when i see something... but now? i don't know... maybe i'm just burn out from work... afterall i did work the next day i move here... and i only took like 5 days off from work during the whole time... i don't know... but i want be inspire again... i want to have a postcard series and a picture/photolog... when will i have my postcard series for sale?
