I know I seem like someone who like photography that much, but no i don't. Photos that you see in magazines and all have been retouched to be that stunningly beautiful. Well I do think photography is somehow a lie, what is served mostly is not original from the camera.

My father love photography. I know how complicated it is to make a damn good picture. Even if you already captured the best, you still have to put it in the Lightroom or Photoshop to enhance it. But I guess it goes the same back then photographer being in the dark room, mixing chemicals and creating unique photos, but nowadays it is done with Photoshop.

But then after years of a lil bit hating it, I kinda fell in love with it, and it comes in the simplest form of photography: I just use my phone as the main gear and tadaaa. It's great. Just some click put that in some photo apps and you get a unique picture instantly. (I do admit I'm a part of generation Y who love instant things)

I use a iPhone 4 to take all of these pictures. Easy gear to bring in everyday!

These cat pictures are cats that usually wonder around my campus. I never intentionally want to take a series of cat picture really, it just happens when I saw something unique, I just pressed click. Hohoho

I was still trying to make a good composition. But she looks cute

My favorite photo :3. anw her name is Gastri. The most beautiful cat.

Gastri strikes again

She is Nessa, Wkwkwk.

All the pictures above are taken using hipstamatic. The very best photography apps, it's not free but it's really worth it.

So confused to choose which one is the best. I think I have to learn about composition and capture more. As photographer Henri Cartier Bresson said "Your first 10.000 photographs are your worst."

Memang sih, 'nggak terawat' katanya. Banyak alang-alang. Kayak hutan belantara. Tapi dengan lahan segede itu kalau semuanya pake desain lansekap yang perlu perawatan, bakal habis berapa duit buat operasional lahan. Mendingan buat ngasih beasiswa.

Selalu berusaha mencari dan mencari apa yang indah disini, karena terkadang cantik itu tidak hanya sekali lihat, tapi berkali-kali.

Cahaya matahari yang menembus ruas-ruas pohon dipagi hari. Burung-burung yang kicauannya kadang-kadang ngalahin temen sendiri. Udara sejuk yang tidak perlu dicari lagi.

Tapi jangan mencari-cari di siang hari, karena Surabaya panas sekali.

Dulu... saya sering banget dapat kata "Semangat!", dan kadang-kadang, serius hanya kadang-kadang saking seringnya, dan mungkin jenuh juga, kata itu jadi meaningless. Tapi sekarang saya kangen sekali kalau ada yang bilang itu sama saya. Haha

Seperti kalimat-kalimat bijak yang sering kita tahu. You never knew how meaningful it is until you lost it.

Ngomong-ngomong dari semua kata-kata semangat yang pernah saya dapat, kata semangat di foto diatas yang paling 'ngena' dan entahlah... berkesan? Saya baca itu di saat yang tepat, lucu sekali, padahal itu bukan buat saya.

"SEMANGAT!!!" spesial dari saya untuk pembaca saya, apapun yang terjadi tetap semangat!

Remember him?

I took random pictures of him, again.

I know I'm not good at expressing my feeling. But there's something that I want to tell you. Lately, when I close my eyes, I see those buried dreams. I know that I still want to reach it, although it has been away. Look back on what I used to be. How eager I was. How I struggled to keep it seems real. Then I stopped. I want to try it again, but stuck in this helpless situation. Trapped by obligation and revelation. A long journey is waiting ...
