Since I've been hanging out around the coffee shop almost everyday, I was inspired to learn how to properly photograph coffee beans and create image stocks from them. That is to say, I don't think it was easy at all.
I wanted to create an image that people would use and has a practical use. I was inspired to do it again as I find it so intriguing when people downloaded my image on my Unsplash page. I don't have a professional camera but to find someone downloading my pictures and viewing it brings me joy. I haven't updated that page in a while but once I have more free time to do so, I would.
Today while I was checking them out again, I got even more inspired to go out and just wander with nothing but my camera. Most of the time, though there are many interesting things surrounding me, I am often to shy pulling out my camera and didn't feel as comfortable as I was back home. Another thing is that, I am starting to notice is that people are guarding their space and they have no-camera policy. This is why I always ask permission before taking pictures and that one time experience with a friend of mine in Thailand was putting me off to actually bring my camera and hunting in public places.
Even in temples and around, sometimes there are signs about no camera policy and no photography inside. This is why, I think nature and landscape photography are the best one for outdoor activities. As that is public spaces. Even though in some parts of Indonesia, that isn't even free at all anymore. Some spaces have been commercialized and you have to pay entrance fee to some waterfall or just a hill overlooking the ocean.
