Moments in time

I wouldn't really call myself a professional photographer or anything along the lines of considering it to be my primary forte. For whatever reason, something went really wrong at one point in my life and I just suddenly picked up this incredibly mainstream and common hobby to be my main medium of artistic expression.

I find solace in capturing fleeting moments – to freeze and trap moving points that could easily go by in the blink of an eye. We only have one chance in this life and there can only be so many beautiful moments that one can experience through their eyes. From long road trips across snowy landscapes to being bored in my own bedroom, these moments can be present in the most random, trivial, and mundane forms. And therefore, my children –
1. Nikon D750 (DSLR)
2. Nikon L35AD (35mm point-and-shoot)
3. Pentax 645 (6x4.5cm medium format)
4. Nikon Coolpix 2100 (smol bean)
are my four horsemen who have been doing wonders so far in turning this pretentious mindset into reality!

To quote Ricky Fitts from The American Beauty – "But it helps me remember - I need to remember. Sometimes, there's so much beauty in the world - I feel like I can't take it, like my heart is just going to cave in."

I have thousands of photographs that haven't been deployed to this portfolio, or should I say, they're still developing in the darkroom(?).
Anyways, you probably don't care, but if you do... stay tune lol.

One last thing, please give this dying account a follow, tysm ily 👑
