Nothing fancy, just another night walk. I love the lights in the night. Day 11 of #30day 🖼️
A third into the challenge, yet nothing’s special. Skies, but during the night walk – I love the contrast, however. Capturing the night skies might be one of the trickiest things. Day 10 of #30day 🖼️
A similar view as the fifth day. The same tree sprawling through the same skies. But a shot so very different. I am learning so much about the angles and frame the past few days. Day 9 of #30day 🖼️
Every morning, I walked across these fire hydrant - I find their symmetry always charming. Also the shade of red they flaunt. Day 8 of #30day 🖼️
Another morning walk, another day of cloudy skies! Dull and uneventful. So had to search for colors in the fields around - alone, the last surviving one amidst the jungle of concrete around. Day 7 of #30day 🖼️
After a phase of consistent writing, these are a silent few days. I have been busy a lot. Too many threads. Too many things at the top of my mind. Writing hasn’t slowed down, I am filling pages of my journal every day. But publishing has almost halted. Except for the #30day posts.
I love how when the mind gets bogged down with too many thoughts, spilling it all out onto a paper always helps declutter it. But, these are some of the rawest, most personal of the thoughts. I haven’t learnt to open up so much to publish these. Maybe, I never will. That’s just not my personality.
On the morning walk! The skies today were absolutely dull, cloudy and uneventful. So, here’s another shot of busy skies from yesterday. Day 6 of #30day 🖼️
On the morning walk! The skies were laden with clouds today, it also meant the sun had a great chance to peek every now & then and light the sky on fire. Day 5 of #30day 🖼️
Also attempted some minor editing for effect. Spot looks different from previous days, for sure.
How Hobbies Infiltrated American Life - The Atlantic →
Theoretically, hobbies should be among the most intrinsically motivated things we could do—they are the work we choose to do when we could be doing anything. But the validation we get from others online, and the validation we get from our culture writ large for spending our free time in a productive, virtuous way, muddies that motivation.
A brilliant essay, specifically this snippet highlights a key issue that social media platforms foster, something that I had written about recently.
Of the morning walk! Same spot as yesterday, but back to the morning sky. It looked uneventful, the sun had wrapped up its play. Day 4 of #30day 🖼️
I also loved this hazy lamp during my walk this evening, attempting to light the path, even when it need not yet.
