Rediscover Your Neighborhood Through The Eyes of Your Camera

Some days, you go out with your camera, and the harvest is minimal – maybe one photo if you’re lucky. On other days, you go out, and it rains opportunities – people in funky outfits, standing in rays of lights, seagulls dancing for you and whatnot. But regardless, you can always rediscover your neighborhood though photography.

You feel especially lucky to meet a friendly cat who would agree to a photo (and also featured a heart on its’ side).

And okay, most people with cameras out there (apart from Australians and the such) are freezing their asses at the moment, and are not very inspired to shoot anything, but yeah, our time will come to sweat it out too and have no desire to show our body parts to the outside world.

Mundane things can be beautiful too, it’s not always about that “wow” effect.
