Hello Wednesday! How is it there today?
"When the night has come, when the land is dark..."
My favorite thing to do is to put on my earphones and pick up my camera then walk around my little town to do street photography.
In Da Nang, my city, we just got out of 6 months lockdown and so I was missing that moment so badly.
And the point of being an artist is you're pretty random most of the times haha. I left home at 6PM when it was slightly rainy and cold. I dressed in black and carried with me my backpack. Then I laughed at myself for a moment cause I looked exactly like a tourist - a sneaky one :)) That was an epic feeling though.
Do you know Da Nang is know as THE CITY OF LIGHT? THE CITY OF COLORFUL BRIDGES? (Well I'll save the bridges for later - that's a whole new topic).
But only walking around my town seeing life coming back to us is the happiest and the most exciting thing ever.
The last lockdown was really harsh on us and all the businesses closed in almost 6 months, we could not go out to do anything outside, and the lights were definately all off.
Human contact is the most beautiful thing to me and just seeing people hanging out brings me so much joy and energy.
This walk took me 2 hours and hope you enjoy these photos while I'm still laughing at what happened last night about how it's like being an artist:
"Being an artist, when I pick up my guitar, people look at me then move towards me...
When I pick up a camera, people stare at me then get ready to run away and hide π
Anyway, the point of being an artist is you get lots of attention most of the times, IN DIFFERENT WAYS!
Bitter & sweet stories! π
And the coolest thing is you accepting to comfortably be A HAPPY WEIRDO! π
Note: you see no rain but it was scattered and had just stopped π
