i dont know why every single time i travel and go places, i am ashamed of my photographs. no photo seems to be good enough. when i was still using my old, dead-beat nikon d40 i thought it was because it was precisely that - old and crappy. a few days ago i had blamed the fact that i have the cheapest canon lens (a 50mm 1.8) and couldnt afford better ones. and then i realized how pathetic ive been all along for even attempting to document so much of my life experiences. my camera would never have the ability to document and capture all the love strangers extend to me and my family, all the kisses and warm hugs shared with my favorite little cousin kyle, all the belly-aching laughter from conversations with loving family and friends, most especially the fleeting feeling of utter joy while on roadtrips around unfamiliar scenes, wind against our faces, hair ice cold and messy. i think i may have given up on documenting travels for the meantime. i dont know whether i will post anything about my familys travels around australia and new zealand spent with amaaaaazing people this summer, but these things -- theyll forever be kept and cherished in the mind, especially in the heart. a couple more days and then we fly back. bittersweet, as always.
