Crimson

These photographs don't need an explanation.

There’s a light in you

and it makes me never fear

the darkness in me.

     - Tyler Knott Gregson.

Quotation marks

I have a Wordpad document on my laptop in which I've been collecting quotes for the past couple of years.

Something like: 

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. 

     - Agatha Christie.

Or: 

Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people’s lives, never your own.

     - Julian Barnes.

And even:

Stress, in addition to being itself and the result of itself, is also the cause of itself.

     - Roberts.

But one of my favorites has got to be:

I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in. 

     - Virginia Woolf.

When I leave this Earth, I want to leave behind a quote.

Upgrade

Sometimes, my parents spoil me.

For instance: on my birthday, they gave me a new camera.

I'll miss my old Canon 300D, but the prospect of continuous shooting sounds too good to pass up on!

Here are a couple of test shots I collected over the past couple of months:

So, what have you been up to lately?
