I was rummaging through old photos (Patreon)

And I found my old thumbnails with my old set up 😭 the 50mm lens I was using was CRAZY. But it only looks that good because of the huge windows at my grandma’s house, where I live now I only have stupid ceiling windows 🤣 and it’s impossible to replicate this with just studio lights. The huge windows also had these sheer curtains on top which basically acted like a giant giant softbox. It was a dream.

I was watching this photography/videography video once and the guy was talking about how lighting is everything - that you can have a mediocre camera and incredible lighting, and your camera will do the impossible. But if you have shitty lighting and a fantastic camera, the camera won’t save you. I mean the lighting is fine right now, but it’s definitely not what I had before. That frustrates me sometimes. I hope in due time we can move and I can have some normal ass windows 😂 bechase these skylights are breaking my balls.

The photos with the yeti were from the first asmr video I EVER DID EVER 🥹 and look how I duplicated my hands 😂 I had set up my little nightstand table with some crystals and my microphone and I decided to give ASMR a shot, and it all took off slowly after that. I was so happy that I finally felt like I found something that I was somewhat good at but also something that helped both me and whoever was watching.

I love rummaging through old photos.

What did you guys end up doing this weekend? I went to the spa. I’m usually like… I just don’t get spas honestly 😂 what even are they. I can never relax in them. But the outdoor pool was a nice alternative to the sea, since we didn’t go to any natural body of water this august 😂 but I do prefer natural bodies of water. Not a big pool person. MINERAL water pools are a different story though. Those are fantastic.

🖤 cheersing you with this glass of white wine I am (almost) about to consume
