Conception

For the past months, I have been squeezing myself of coming up with fresh ideas for photography and blogging but all I always end with nothing. If only creativity can be bought in the market, I'll submit myself for a lifelong supply. In that way, my photography and blogging won't be stagnant. But I guess that is not always the case.

Last month, I joined two photowalks with my friends and in one or way, those activities rekindled the fire within that almost died. I was able to shook off the webs from my cameras and was able to write an entry or two. I guess concepts will just come out naturally and there's no need to force "those ideas" to pop out of your brains. You will be saved from frustration and disappointment then.

What did I gain from those walks? THIS.

Maybe it's not entirely fresh, but I'll take it. I haven't checked the entire blogosphere to verify if something like it is existing.

It just occurred to me while exploring Yokohama and Tsukiji about merging or letting my blog and photography co-exist as a travel photo blog. I know it won't be easy but I guess it's a start of something new for my blog and photography. An idea just to make it going. Yes, I plan to wear those shirts in every places I will visit.

A step forward for Distilling Thoughts as well as Nalalabing Hibla, I hope.

    oh JOhn, can I order one of your t-shirt? the purple one, please? It is so pretty. Though, I must say, I am not a poet like you, but I shoot and I blog too :) hehe Let me know please, how I can buy! Hey, you can add that in your new site, a t-shirt and photo store :) yes, hopefully, one day, we can photohike together, i'll choose a trail that you will not whine :) but just enjoy photoshooting, whether here in US, in pinas or hopefully, I get a chance to visit Japan too.
