I Haven’t posted here in a while now. Almost half a year.
Not really sure what happened. I got too excited probably, if I have to guess. Made this whole blog thing too official, and maybe even too technical. Burned myself out. Finished the cake too fast.
And by the time I almost found the will to post again, everything suddenly turned upside down in the blink of an eye. Now with this ongoing war, I don’t really want to write about anything. All these ideas I had for future posts - they all seem so ridiculous now, in light of what's been happening. A conversation about Instagram; A second part of my RB67 Pro-S review; A thought experiment on why I shoot mostly vertically - now it all feels so self-centered. So completely out of touch with reality. It's one thing to secretly delve into these topics in your own head, but to publicly share them, while all the rest of the world is grieving in immense pain - it just doesn't feel right. Maybe it’s just too soon. I don’t know.
It’s not like I’m even gonna share my feelings about this conflict here, or anywhere else, as I’ll get myself into a corner no matter what I’ll say, and I’m not really into that. I don’t debate people on the internet. I try not to pick sides if I can. But at the same time, it feels inappropriate to just pretend like it’s not even here. To act as if my light leak problems, or my lack of motivation, have the same amount of weight as all this pain and suffering we all share together.
I don’t know man… I guess only time will tell.
But in the meantime - I’ve just updated my HEADACHES page (yep… still didn’t fix that goddamn light leak) and I want to share those new photos with you. I’ve just ordered some light seals for the camera, so this whole mess of a story should hopefully be over soon. Who knows, maybe after the fix I’ll also push myself into finally finishing that RB67 review.
I hope you'll enjoy these new headaches, and wish you all better and calmer days.
