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