coffee break

after eons of shooting my camera and having my picture taken, i have finally sat down and put it into albums. i have stacks and stacks of pictures, around 300+ and really nice albums i bought at bergdorf. they’re silk, satin, suede and velvet covered album in rich jewel and earth tones. one is gilded in gold threads, the suede one in victorian, fleur de lys prints. the pictures are actually from 4 years of travelling. i don’t have any intentions of seeing them in print but i got a coupon from snapfish, 400 prints plus a calendar for free. all i need to pay is the shipping. both gathering dust for more than a year.

stacked in the corner of my room, along with my many unread books, they were begging me to attend to them. i finally picked it up, scatter everything on my bed and quickly sort it. it took a while; i was conflicted on how to sort it. is it per city? per country?  the year i travelled? subjects? since i only have 5 albums, i’m limited to a select few. i settled with us, architecture, flora and fauna, euro and down under and a separate album for portraits, mine and that i took.

i have another album, made from oak  (yes, the wood) and brown leaves/pages. that one i bought at istanbul. i still have to fill up the pages. i need to sit down and do all these things. then again, work tends to creep up.
