A stumble... and a restart

I admit that lately I haven't had much practice in taking pictures.  Personally, the last good pictures I took were when I was still with Pixela.  And even before that, I've always been proud of my skills and knowledge in using an SLR on manual settings. Either with natural light or with flash, modesty aside, I know I was good.  I was good because I took the time to study my SLR and photography in general.  I took the time to compose pictures.

 

Right now I am "recalibrating" and would be studying this camera more and studying photography techniques which are significant or specific to the camera.  I am not happy with the pictures I've taken so far.  It would take me some more time to get used to this.  Maybe another 100 pictures, and with constant practice.  I have to be patient and learn to compose pictures again.

 

The learning continues then.

Set Pictures: odd objects

Some days I just want the time to pass me by.



Kenneth borrowed the bag, and hasn't returned it yet. These are Darwi's new glasses. Red frame.

Changes: from words to graphics

I am planning to steer this page from one end of the spectrum to another:  from words to pictures.  Hopefully, I would be successful enough to show something for it.

 

Next!!!

The words are there but...

The words still ramble in my head, but I don't write them down any
more. I am waiting for the words to tone down and to disappear into
the background of my consciousness. The poems wanting to be written
are still there. But I am not letting it reach the hand. And the
hand is not poised to write or type the poem. The mind tries to steer
away from the poem waiting to be written. A reason and a thousand
others do not need to intervene, no reason is needed. I don't want to
write the poem. Not "not yet" just simply "not." Maybe just "not
today" but I know it won't last forever.

Another time then. Meantime, another kind of pining and spacing out.

Hiatus

I have not posted anything on this blog for a long while. Mainly because I have not posted any poems with PinoyPoets. And that because I have gone into a leave of absence with the group. Was very disappointed for a long, long while. I know I tried my best to contribute. Though after a while, any contribution which is not acknowledged would make you feel left out and unwanted.

Maybe my fault. I didn't try to educate the members enough of the necessity of what I did. All background work and technical.

Definitely my fault.

Will be posting more on this blog. I don't know what, but I would be changing directions on what this blog is. I will let it evolve on its own.

More from me soon.
