From the Archives
I don’t consider myself an A-type personality at all, but when it comes to photography, I’m a stickler for composition and perfectly framing a shot linearly. (Also, as someone who favors Instagram over any other social media, I’m a slave to the grid and the overall look when I click on someone’s account.) Lately I’ve noticed a move back to a more curated, intentional, and editorialised aesthetic on the platform, which is refreshing to see compared to the “relatable, real life” content which users have been gravitating towards since it was prioritised on the algorithm.
It’s interesting to look back on how my content curation habits changed over the years. Back in the day I used to post incessantly, to the point where I would document cooking (burnt) Hello Fresh dinners from my tiny Williamsburg apartment every night, to cataloging every meal, and capturing multiple copies of the same scene *in case* I would need it later. I’ve done a 360 since, and figure that it’s nicer to keep some things to myself, because not everyone will have the best of intentions for me.
But for now, I’ll be capturing places, spaces, and sunsets / sunrises. Below are a few taken from the archives.
