small meaningful things

almost straight out of the camera

I have learnt from my previous trips that if I don’t do something about the photos on the day itself, the likelihood of me doing anything with them decreases as the days go by. But it is a chore to edit them, so this time around I decided I’ll post photos that is almost straight of the camera – they are unedited jpegs from the camera, apart from the minimal cropping and straightening of some photos. I hope to stop having to crop or straighten them one day though, by learning to take the time to frame the photos properly. But some moments just have to be captured in that moment or they’ll be gone.

Do you think they are good enough?

I am really learning to appreciating the seemingly ordinary moments.

    These photos are more than good enough. And it’s the capture of such ordinary moments that make them so special. Because when I’m in the midst of personal turmoil, it’s those exact moments of ordinary calmness that I wish for.

    I think that you answered your own question by categorizing this note in “small meaningful things”. If these images are meaningful to you, then they are more than good enough to share 🙂
    And I agree with Véronique: I love the magic of ordinary moments that they convey, and they have their own interesting atmosphere!
