 why is it that i stopped taking photographs 'seriously' i do not know. i realized that in the past three years, i have been thinking in soundwaves. even when i look at these pictures, i hear a certain soundscape - the whirr of the air-condition, the drilling from a distant renovation, loud bus engines stopping and moving off, crickets, tv from the neighboring room, fans turning.. some too indistinct for me to conjure. the stillness i enjoyed the past few days have opened a slight door into the room where my thoughts used to be - far away from what i would share legitimately every night in my four hours. i am certain now that the four hours of jarring pop tunes exhausted me. i am thinking of ways to cure that. maybe i'll turn off the speakers while i'm at work for two hours. i'll dream more about shadows and light and how they make me feel. i'll note them down and link them to my emotions. i'll try to express how i feel by writing about light and re-imagine my words into pictures. for the new year.
