After I started taking photos, I began posting on Instagram every day and updating this photo blog every week. Before I knew it, it’s already been six years.
Last year, I even held a solo exhibition. Although my pace is pretty slow, little by little, I’ve been expanding the things I want to do.
Along the way, I’ve had the chance to meet people I never would have encountered otherwise — artists, photographers, and more.
Among them, there was one artist I remember discovering not long after I first started Instagram. I’d always wanted to meet them, but the opportunity never seemed to come.
Finally, just last week, I was able to meet them in person. We spent several hours talking about so many different things, and now, looking back, I realize just how meaningful and full of learning that time was.
At the recent photo exhibition too, even though I wasn’t an exhibitor myself, some new friends I met through Instagram were showing their work.
I was so excited, and at the venue, I also met many photographers.
Everyone was so passionate — each had their own philosophy, their own style — and yet they kept pushing themselves to explore even further.
It was truly inspiring. At the same time, I couldn’t help but wonder, Am I really doing enough? and suddenly felt a little unsure of myself… but even that feeling was kind of fun.
Since my solo exhibition last year, I’ve had so many encounters with different people. Of course, there were some I naturally drifted apart from, but that whole process — meeting, connecting, flowing along — feels really comfortable and joyful to me.
I’m just really grateful for it all.
And maybe — just maybe — the overwhelming busyness I’ve been buried in is starting to settle down a little… maybe. LOL
Thank you very much!!
Have a nice weekend ❤️😘❤️
