✖ embracing the increased daylight

✖ embracing the increased daylight

• Tuesday 5 March 2019

It's so odd when you realise you're up at seven in the morning, and you can actually see what's happening outside already. The dark times are slowly passing by us, and the sun is getting out behind the clouds more often. I can honestly say, that it's such a refreshing feeling.

I really do love Winter and the fact that it's dark during most of the day, like a dark soul I am. But this year everything was different. I found that I wasn't enjoying the things I used to enjoy as much as I once did. I don't know if it's some sort of self-development, or if it's simply the fact that my mental wellbeing hasn't been very good this Winter. Well, let's give it another go next Winter because I can smell the Spring and I am embracing the sunlight!

A few days ago, I did some self-photography which doesn't necessarily fall into the category "photography", but I want to track my own development in front of the camera. I'm used to being behind it, so while I'm acting as my own photographer now that my dedicated buddy is living in Norway for next few months, I want to get more comfortable on being photographed once in a while.

Also, I'm looking for photography buddies for the next few months, so hit me up, please.

My mantra for the week is to embrace the daylight. And go out more often, just not for work or uni but to shoot some pictures of Spring in Helsinki. What's your mantra for the week?
