I recently visited Paris and took some photographs which have been viewed by some of my network on my Instagram stories.

Photography is something I have not focused on as much as film and poetry, but it is something I still do, and in fact, enjoy. I recently acquired a 50mm lens to use for film projects, and it has unexpectedly captured photos I’ve really liked and has made me enjoy travel photography. This coincides with and complements my growing love for travel.

With regard to my 50mm lens, whether it’s the fact that it’s easy to carry, or that it is adaptable in a range of lighting conditions, or its visual sharpness, or all of the mentioned reasons, I have found myself taking more photographs with it. After encouragement from friends, I have decided to make these photos more public.
