I captured a lot.

A lot. People. Memories. Experiences.

I used to be really into photography. It was something that gave me peace and perspective. But over time, I started choosing practicality over my passion project—there were bills to pay, responsibilities to meet, and photography quietly slipped into the background.

But recently, I gave myself a quiet moment to try again. No big plans. Just light, space, and curiosity. And in that small pause, something stirred. Maybe it never left—maybe I just stopped looking. If you’ve shelved something you used to love, consider this your sign: what’s lost isn’t always gone. Sometimes all it takes is a little space to refuel.
