IdleGlory | He had to be a genius or nothing, and since he couldn’t be creative he turned to bohemianism, eccentricity, social versatility, conquests. – Allen Ginsberg

I’ve restarted to venture out on photowalk trips in explored sections of the little city again over the weekend. Feeling a little blue, I couldn’t help but reminscient of photowalks with my friend Ash three years ago on a similar hot, august lazy afternoon with our cameras in hand and brimful of curiosity and idealism.

Despite our age difference of two years, and a recent rendezvous in Portland, Oregon during the month o’ April, I still miss him very, very much since he moved away from the little city of Vancouver. He’s travelled through Europe and Jerusalem after his university graduation, and later exploring the USA before hopping to New Zealand for a year or two.

He’s now switched from the digital dslr totting days of our youth to analogue SLR’s and film cameras, yet his eye for street photography is one of his most impressive characteristics: I have always noticed something his photos that I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.

Ash will always, always be my favorite and bestest photowalk activity partner.
