Introduction

Hello. Callistonian.net is my stomping ground on the Internet. Here, I post a potpourri of things - this place is a little random. I'm Chantelle: a 23 year old foreign language, law, and history obsessed girl.

Cecily von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl #1
Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of privileged teens living in New York City’s Upper East Side. The vast majority of GG’s protagonists are spiteful and superficial: they are as deep as the ink on paper after a girl signs her name with a Montblanc fountain pen.

Note to Self: Take Photos

In the past, I took heaps and hordes of pictures. Recently, I haven’t taken many. It’s pitiful—maybe I’ve snapped 20 photos in the last three months. wth? I need inspiration; I also need encouragement. 

My camera is heavy, quite intimidating. I’m shy … The situation is not good.  I feel like there’s nothing interesting to photograph, but that’s not true.  There’s always something interesting, right?

Well, hmm—here are some of the precious few I’ve snapped recently.

First, Myeongdong. Myeongdong is always crowded, but the crowds add to the atmosphere, and to the fun! It’s clothes paradise, heaven… A gigantic (3 floors? 4 floors?) Forever21 just opened in the area. Forever21 in the States is a shop in a mall. It’s not a multi-story complex.

Myeongdong

Second, the instrument I was playing. It’s lovely, beautiful, and it makes awesome sounds. But, my goodness, the thing hurts my fingers.

Gayageum

Third—oh wait. I haven’t been taking pictures. :(

One of my friends plays the zither; I think it’s pretty similar to your instrument.

I rarely take photos :(

What kind of instrument is it? Looks very interesting. I never take pictures and all I wanted for my birthday a few years ago was a digital camera lol. I rarely use it.

My friend has a zither and I love the sounds. I thought there were some special fake nail like things that you use to pluck it? Idk, but I still love the zither! ;)

It’s a 12-string gayageum.

@Chien Yee: It’s a gayageum not a guzheng or koto, so we use our fingers… It hurts, but oh well.

I invested a lot of my money in my Olympus E-500 and it’s lenses only to find myself not taking very many pictures as of late. I think it’s the lack of inspiration, because like you said, there are always interesting things to photograph. I’ve just been so consumed with other things - at least thats the excuse I give myself.
