WTA | Beginning

We're (kind of) back! Write up to follow! 

WTA#12 | Music

Work has been busy these days. By the time I get off it, there is barely enough sunlight to shoot or none at all. I also have maybe 4 rolls worth of film I haven't posted yet and a couple more I have to develop. I have to quit this lazy spell. I have been actively posting on Instagram though. I don't know what that says about me. Heh. 

I'll try catching up with my WTA, I promise.

WTA#11 | Wind

Or lackthereof~

If my 16 year-old ~*emo*~ self was the one blogging at the moment, I bet that leaf has a lot of stories to tell. Well, mostly about holding on and letting go, and being alone and lonely. But since it's me, the 26-year old homesick one, I will tell you that this was taken in January, on a beautiful winter afternoon while walking around Chester Square. And that although that leaf appears to be strong and holding up rather good all by itself, I bet it wants to party with its friends on the ground.

WTA#10 | Work

I am always asked what's my line of work or what job do I have. And while I would want to talk to you about it in details, I can't. To tell you about it lightly, I work for a high profile family from the Middle East who travels a lot. For most months of the year, I live in Riyadh. For the other times, I usually find myself in another country, sitting at the back of a car, lacking in sleep, in an unfamiliar place, with the most fantastic view.

WTA#9 | Sunset

I don't think I have a specific genre when taking pictures but I'm sure landscape isn't one of my stronger points. Sunsets especially.

Also, I have a ton of photos taken from airplanes, but that would be another post of its own. Late (and old lol) picture is late!

I think the artist was working on a drawing of this.

WTA#6 | Horizon

a.k.a. Badly Exposed Photos Of The Sunset

This was en route to London last January. It was the first trip where I brought (save for my iPhone 4s) only my Canon A1 to take pictures. I just had my rolls developed today and while I only have a handful of decent shots compared to the hundreds I would have taken with my DSLR, I'm still happy with the results. Film and its unfathomable charm has definitely found its way to me, and I don't think it will go away (I don't want it to go away) any time soon.

WTA#5 | Coffee

I have a couple of pictures related to this theme but my rolls aren't developed yet. This is another old photo from Spain two summers ago.

WTA#4 | Silhouette

I am posting another stock photo. I am still in London but we'll be flying later today to Cortina, Italy. So far, I'm on my second roll of film and have not even once, regretted leaving my DSLR. Fuck yeah.

This was taken still in Spain, on a ride home from Malaga to Marbella. This was around 8 or 9 in the evening already--the summer days seem to be longer in that part of the world as the winter nights are here in London. I like the latter more than the former.

WTA#3 | Street Signs

Hullow! I'm in London and I didn't bring my DSLR so these are from the archives. I think these were taken in July 2010, my first ever trip to (Marbella) Spain.

WTA#2 | Golden Hour

I had my day off last Saturday. I spent half of it sleeping and half of it running errands. I don't really trust public transport around here and women aren't allowed to drive (which isn't really applicable to me cause I don't know how to lol) that's why whenever I go out, I usually have a driver to take me wherever I need to go. He's that guy. We don't understand each other half the time but I reckon he's nice.

WTA#1 | New beginnings

I want to high five Phillip and our friends who have joined us with last year's WTA. I honestly thought that at some point I would have ~*given up*~ LOL. There were quite a number of times that I've uploaded late because 1) I was lazy 2) I didn't know what to shoot 3) I was lazy. I guess that's one thing I would want to change this year. Let's see.
