Trying to love digital again and failing
I have been shooting film a lot more recently and I have fallen back in love with it. I even feel like I'm not necessarily conservative with shooting the film based on the price but also just more aware

Photographing Strange Times
As always I casually roam the streets and the chaos finds its way to me. I walk, hearing the chants in the distance, growing closer to me. I enter a bookshop to take a look around, and from the window

Black and white at a chaotic street market
The other day was a holiday in Armenia: Children's Day. Armenia has a strong love for family ties and especially the innocence of children. In some ways this leads to a more wholesome environment, in others

Photographing Opposition
I recently photographed the current Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan on 35mm film. I shared a few of the digital images here and despite that post ending up as a complete dud, I decided to share

Winter bleakness on 35mm film
I told myself I'd attempt to force out a few posts and see if I can get back into the 'swing' of things. It's very easy at the moment to just not post and let time pass by. These breaks can easily turn

35mm film in the streets of Yerevan
It has been a while but I feel like the love and itch for shooting film has returned. With prices in Armenia for film being incredibly high, I never really bothered to buy any. Though I recently noticed

Photographing Armenia's Prime Minister
I said recently that the chaos seems to follow me. Well, today it was more true than ever. I left my apartment around the time I usually do, not looking forward to the short walk to the bus stop. Part

Photography during a storm
After my little street photography session yesterday, I got caught up in a storm. Heavy rains that made everyone in the city immediately take shelter. Cracks of thunder above. Flashes of lightning mixed

A little street photography in black and white
Still don't really feel like writing but I'm sitting in a cafe now escaping the sun a bit. Incredibly intense. And acter a few hours of running around the streets I felt like taking a break. Today was

Embracing the chaos
The tourist season is picking up in Yerevan, as are the temperatures. I have been getting out a lot while also trying to avoid some of those more touristic areas where the crowds become a bit too much

Close Encounters
Yesterday Yerevan was packed with people for a day of Armenian dances. Streets closed off entirely. People everywhere. So much noise from speakers. The sun was intense. While I wanted to photograph the

On photography and luck
Yet again I find myself uploading a few photographs here and just sitting looking at them, incapable of finding some words to say. I guess you could call it writer's block, but perhaps it's more just a

On Free Will
For the most part I think we don't actually have free will. A lot of our lives are predetermined based on where we live, how we're brought up, and the conditions we find ourselves in. In many cases there

35mm film street photography
With another trip to Georgia out of the way, I feel absolutely awful. A lack of sleep from the past few days. Immense hay fever that sprung up out of nowhere leading to blocked sinuses and a heavy head.

Finally I have something to write about that doesn't really require much thought! Still facing the writer's block, but yesterday I watched as a piece of history was lost. The Kanaz Culture House of the

I don't really want to go too into details, but I recently found out that my mother has incurable cancer. In a few weeks, the family finds out generally how much time she has left. I wrote a draft post

The United Nations said no fun allowed
I feel sick lately. Like I have been incubating a bit of a cold or something over the week. On and off days where towards the evening I start feeling a bit unwell. A cough is starting to appear. But the
