be a tourist in your own city

hello mister seagull

hullo!
yesterday i went for a bike ride by myself all over the city and even though i don't consider myself a photographer or have a very nice camera, i thoroughly enjoy taking pictures and being present in the moment. it's especially fun to reclaim your own city and see it through new eyes as a pretend tourist! take yourself on an artist date + give it a whirl in your own town or city for a refuel and to fall in love all over again with your home!

Hi Mati,
It was such a pleasure to meet you at the opening of the enormous tiny art show and the squam art fair. I am very new to the blog scene and finding it a great way to expand my art community. I love checking in to see what's new. Your photos are great.It is amazing how you can capture a new perspective through the lense of a camera.
