TEST

The 50mm f/1.4 lens that I had wanted for ages finally arrived! Albeit with a guilty conscience - I can't really afford it at the moment - but I really wanted it to arrive in time for Europe so I can capture all those food memories with the lens' beautiful crispness. I promise not to have every photo I take from now on overly shallow depth of field-y (it's so tempting though!). 
Photos of my brother (domestic god) baking.

LONGING

Lately I've been missing Europe even more than usual and can hardly wait the 1.5 months til I go. Trying to stay content in every situation though and enjoy every minute - no matter where I am.

(all photos by me, mostly taken on the world's cheapest and sturdiest little point-and-shoot): 1. Paris 2. Madeleine metro stop 3. Venice 4. Florence 5. Hiking in Cinque Terre 6. Ghent, Belgium 7. Amsterdam in winter 8. On the train in Switzerland 9. Potsdam, Germany (which also happens to be one of my favourite places).

BREAKFAST

BIRCHER MUESLI: Mix all ingredients together and let soak overnight. Serve with extra yoghurt & honey/ fresh fruit.

DEVELOPED

Some photos from my first fully self-processed and developed roll of film - the novelty of watching the photo appear as you put the paper in the developer in the darkroom still hasn't lost its novelty for me.

It's been a big past few weeks, having almost no time after the accident to actually process it - being so busy with uni work and other work. Then there was also something else this week (that I won't go into) which caused a lot of initial excitement, followed by immense disappointment. Moral of the story: I need to learn to not take things so seriously. Sorry to get so emo on y'all. I'm off to make some bircher muesli for tomorrow's breakfast.

MISCELANEOUS

Walking through Harris Farms is a dangerous thing for me to do. I end up spending my dire savings on things like caramelised balsamic (delicious) and this, Missoni meets San Pellegrino water. How cool (yet pretentious I'll admit) is this?!

We're currently studying magazine design and I've found a new appreciation for well-designed magazines ( & nail art), such as the latest Oyster.

Happy Easter!

PORTRAIT

Currently organising passports and visas ( & wondering how I'll be able to afford a Europe trip after what's come to be a very expensive accident). I came across some old passport photos of my brother and I, from the days when passport photos were still film and in black & white.
