It was that last night when I realized my life had become boring. Waking up and then sitting to watch over the store. At night when I closed the store, if the gadgets didn't interest me; I immediately closed my eyes to sleep. Quite boring isn't it? Well, simply because these days I don't have bookings for events in photography to color my black and white world.
That night, before I went to sleep. I wanted to have a longer night, like I didn't want to sleep yet. I wanted to do something first before sleeping but there was nothing I could do. My eyes closed on their own while I was sitting on that old chair that was placed on the terrace with a beautiful overlooking view outside. Yes, it's my resting place during the night when I close the store. It taught me to be happy in small things and that small things are to enjoy watching the surroundings and the people passing by.
So morning came, it was still chilly even though it was fine weather. I didn't open the store early on because when I woke up, walking was on my mind. Immediately, I brought my camera with me, this time I brought my Sony a7ii. I walked and walked while feeling the cold from the morning breeze. I took pictures and they were all pretty but still I thought it was not enough. I wasn't satisfied because I didn't know, something was lacking in my heart. It was like I dreamed but not happy when woke up.
I was walking without being mindful what's the surroundings. I found myself at the rice field with such a wide and long view. From a distance, I saw a man already taking care of the fields. It is not the time to plant rice crops yet, so most people will be preparing their fields.
I took a shot, sorry it was unplanned. “Wow”, that's all I could say when I saw the results through the image. The mountain kissed the sky while the rice field took a shade from it. Of course, a single shoot would not be enough. Well, sorry, the details were shared above already.
I took multiple shots obviously. You know me, in every shot there's a feeling hidden that only I understood. However, it's different now because I am writing now and what I felt back will be written and should be stated. Not for other people to learn but for my own satisfaction about telling something through writing.
I captured this image and it made me feel really good. Feeling the beauty of nature and appreciating its amazingness.
Next, I wished to stay here for long, and then I felt the wind touch my skin and crawl into my brain.
Then I thought how nice it would be if we were not pressured by our desires and wants in life. For sure, we would enjoy the beauty of nature but then again; We could not because we knew there were things to keep in mind while living in this world. So with that kind of thought, “Okay, it's time to go.” I told myself and my walk with that morning view of the rice field ended.
