Photography can almost be seen as a language when it’s paired with storytelling and intention. In the case that photos are being viewed as a language, we try to read or understand them individually like words. And when a sequence of photographs speaks volumes, it’s as if it‘s a poem with rhymes and rhythms. Well paired/sequenced photos can serve as rhymes while the general theme/story sets the rhythm.

let’s write our names in the sand and watch them wash away

03/2025

Stop trying so hard.. I mean this in the sense of trying to force an outcome when you can just see what naturally happens

02/2025

There’s this seemingly gradual, natural flow that God sets up for us and as soon as I become aware, I try to take control of this flow and it always messes everything up from when I was oblivious of the flow’s existence all together.

Sometimes it’s best to take a step away and work on yourself/endeavors in solitude.

You don’t always need friends, you can often find that same fulfillment in strangers.

What drove me to this realization is—on paper, I technically have many friends. Friends whom I deeply care for and treasure. But in all actuality, it seems all but a few of them only care for surface level intereactions. In my honest opinion, that just seems like a glorified stranger.

And lets not confuse anything, I am by no means a perfect friend or maybe not even a “good friend” but I do have everyone’s best intereset at heart and wish more than anything that I could get more out of those “friendships” than a meme or empty replies.

Although making friends seems to be a pretty simple task, after forming those connections, some fade much too quickly—which makes you think: "What's the point?"

06/2025

Getting closer to one thing only distances you from another.
