Back in the slum, 2022 has been horrible in terms of photography.
I don’t really have anything to show this year. Most of the photos are for “personal documentation” purposes, or something related to mountain biking progression with its own conundrum: the ones I took has no photographic values to share here, while the ones I like — because it shows the progress I made with the sport — were not taken by me. So, yeah.
Somehow, I feel a bit out of place. Like Coutinho and Bale here…
*for context, the photo was taken in Leeds United vs Aston Villa friendly match in Brisbane (17 July 2022). These two guys have absolutely no business here :-). Well, probably Coutinho was fine, but the guy is wearing Liverpool jersey.
But, chill, all is good.
Last year, I was thinking to accept the fact that I don’t carry my camera everywhere anymore, and I should start learning to optimize the shooting experience using my phone.
But, no, they are not the same.
I’m not talking about result; I’m emphasizing on the experience.
The good news, I met a friend who share the same photography interest recently. It somehow triggers me to buy a new battery for the old X100.
It’s a start.
I hope it will push me to bring the camera wherever I can.
We’ll see how it goes in 2023.
Last, but not least, the hope for 2023.
I hope I can see and experience more new things, capture them in camera (or phone), and share them with you here (or Instagram).
Thanks for the visit and comments in 2022 .I hope you had a good year, and here’s hoping for even better 2023. Cheers!



I’ve wanted to switch to taking photos with a camera instead of photos with my phone. So this was an inspiration for me to make the switch and new more consistent. I appreciate the honesty of this post as taking photos for me can also wax and wane year by year. Wishing you a happy New Year 2023!
Hey Lyndsie, how is it going? It has been awhile.
Yeah, perhaps everything is cyclic, with pattern, rounds with up and down :-). Hope 2023 would be on the up cycle…
Happy New Year 2023, long may we take photos :-)
I was expecting more rich content as always from you :)
Hopefully 2023 will be a bomb…
Thanks, Ipul. I certainly hope so, too :-)
What? That’s it? Will threatening to throw away all your camera and gears work to make you use them more? That, I can help with..
