Anyways, if you're wondering why I titled my blog as "search for expressions," it's because I'm a photographer and I like to walk around and search for "stuff." I mean, I'm the type of photographer that likes to take pictures "as is," meaning I don't like to manipulate too much before or after the shutter clicks. My aim is to become a good street photographer, which is somewhat problematic in the great city of Upland because there's nothing at the streets, but I like to capture whatever it is that I find it to be interesting.
Do you create writing or discover writing? Unless you coin words or invent a language, isn't it true that you're actually discovering it? as in, you're not really creating your sentences but you're using and rearranging words and grammatical rules that are already in existence?
In a similar fashion, I believe a photographer discovers their work instead of creating it - hence, I must search to express whatever it is that I want to express.
(This one really should be viewed as a larger picture...

For instance, the above pictures is depicting a crowded store in Korea, where everyone is partitioned in their own little space like caged chickens in a luxurious store (somewhat ironic in my opinion). Isn't this somehwat similar to our everyday life in modern society? I mean, are we living a life of luxury? or do we have more in common with caged chickens in a farm?

yes, this sort of stuff is what I search for everyday - and hopefully I have my camera to capture the moment. Nothing is more rewarding than being able to express myself without a single word in a succint, clear way.
