Streets within us

Streets are extensions of us.

We go outside to explore, to recharge, to get inspired, to get lost and get found again.

Every time I feel stuck - I go outside with my camera, and I'm no longer worried or anxious. I just observe and shoot whatever catches my eye. I also go outside when it's cold and raining, when I don't feel like shooting at all - that is when I take my best shots.

Shooting streets is my workout for the eye, and a bit for my body as well. I'm not good at it yet, I learn as I go down the street.

So I had around 5 days (including two weekend days) to collect that and apply, otherwise my bank statement would expire and things would get complicated. Praise the Lord I made it in time!
