found this as i was going through my old travel photo collection. 2007: Vienna with sis and friend. Did we feel 'female enough'?
I've basically terrorized those closest to me with my digital camera ever since i started 'borrowing' my dad's Ultra-zoom Olympus. This was back when i started sixth form.
Oh do I feel old now~! hehe.
Without the photos, I probably wouldn't even remember what transpired around me throughout those years (blame my extremely poor memory) so looking through the albums really was something. Flashbacks of my last schooling years (where my personal transformation really began) part-time working experiences... and the people i've met along the way. Sometimes i do wonder : would i have been able to make mental records of everything had it not been for my love of snapping everything in sight? XD
The same goes for blogging. I love being reminded of who i once was. Keeps me humble. To know that growth is a process that takes time. and effort.
Maybe i'll start putting up the old pics and vids . Well, the 'fun' ones at least.

I always tried justifying my constant prowling around shooting photos because I worried that by taking a picture instead of soaking in the moment I would have lost the integrity of the moment. But by capturing the memory in a series of images the memory is better served, hehe. same with blogging. I like being able to look back and see how my thought processes might have changed from the present compared to six months ago.
so all my habits are justified. hehe.
Wow! your comment is nearly as long as the post itself! j/k.
But yeah...people keep telling me the same thing and i found myself always trying to justify my actions. Integrity of vs capturing the moment. hmm..my habits are now justified too. Thanks to (people like) you~ Like they say, "Great minds think alike!"
