“You’re not going to have a really incredible experience each time you take a photograph. So you just keep taking them. And taking them and taking them. And then, every once in a while, it happens.”
Lately, I have been in what you can call.. a photography rut. I haven't been inspired, and I rarely take my camera out. Every so often, I find myself here once again. Sometimes, I have bursts of creative flow and ideas and I get overly excited about it, but at times.. it's dead quiet.
India for me was the peak and highlight of my photography journey. You could say being there.. was a photographer's dream. I found myself constantly snapping away, and both my memory cards would be filled up by the end of the day. It was magical. Frame after frame left me in awe.
But now that I'm back in Vancouver.. I haven't been photographing as much. I need my groove back. I miss capturing the beauty of life. And for those moments to capture me. Hopefully I'll find it soon. In the meantime, here are some favourites from the archives I left hanging!

I hope one day I could visit India sometime! ^^ ~
I saw many great photograpghs of India too. Those lifestyle kind, people kind, emotions kind and just those fleeting moments. India is definitely a photographer's haven.
Except for the first photo, the rest do not seem like they are in India? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Welcome back!
I love the colours of your photographs! If you had a Flickr account, I would honestly probably favourited all of them, haha :P
I feel the same way about photography. Especially after my camera got stolen, I realized I took photography for granted :( now I just feel like snapping away but I got nothing... I suggest try shooting street downtown in the next few weeks when the leaves are changing and everyone is bundled up.. with the golden hour sunlight :D
@Krissy
Do it if you get the opportunity to :) It's a beautiful nation with amazing people. Life-changing.
@Jo
It totally is! I can't wait to go back there, to diff parts of India. Miss it heaps already. Oh the first photo is in Chinatown, Vancouver, Canada :P None were in India!
@Jessica
