In 2019, I didn’t take a lot of photos on my SLR camera.
I fell into the monotonous train of thought that my daily routines wasn’t anything extraordinary. No mount Fuji views, no Tokyo streets, no skyscrapers, no instagram worthy food…just, daily life. Therefore, my camera stayed put in my room collecting dust and I lacked the motivation to brush it off. But, over the holidays, I realized that there is really nothing more extraordinary than freezing a moment in time with my family by the click of a camera shutter. Life moves fast. The years go by in a blink of an eye. And the kids will be grown up before we know it.
And I realized that, these days…the ones where I am living at home with my family doing the most ordinary things… are in fact, the most extraordinary.
This year, I hope to shoot more with my camera. More of the every day stuff. I also hope to play around with the film cameras I inherited from my grandpa. I want to capture the big moments and the tiny moments and all the beautiful moments in between. Let’s go 2020.
