Capturing the peaceful beauty that surrounds you

In the past, I had this idea that photography meant lugging around a big camera bag and wandering around the world, through the wild, untamed forest. These days, I love to carry a small line of crossbody bags with me wherever I go. I’ll walk from one intersection to the next, always with my camera in hand, a book to read, or a picture to take. It’s amazing how much beauty and peace I find around me!

Choose your favorite camera and take it with you wherever you go!


I don’t think photography needs to be a specific time or place, and it doesn’t have to be a scenic location.

Photography can be done anywhere and anytime. In the eyes of many people, there is nothing new around them and nothing seems worth documenting. They say you have to go to a strange place to find inspiration. But I am not such a person. I think we don’t have much choice in life. Spring, summer, fall and winter are not our choice. You can’t say you don’t like winter so you have to live in spring, summer or fall. What I can choose is to choose a device that makes me happy and carry it with me at all times, and the good things will appear in front of the camera by themselves.


Out of focus, film photography

Negatives don’t need glitz and glamor, just pure sunlight. I don’t discard out-of-focus photos, especially physical film, and digital blurry photos I tend to delete. Out-of-focus film gives you a hazy feeling with a palpable graininess. This realism is something that digital photography can’t give you.
