I got a love that keeps me waiting

photographs of everyday things and a self-portrait series.
on the train ride homeward with my papa
seashells from the seashore in a shimmering box from my best friend
sunrise this morning (the colours disappeared so soon and my heart fell a little)
the prettiest orchid surprising me while i was walking in the city
self-portraits because i got my new tripod and couldn't resist not taking them.

college has brought along a few good things (thus far) and i was told something about myself that i didn't know today and it made my heart smile, too; my new friend said that i'm a 'photographic' person and that i notice little things that others don't. (not so secretly) i'd like to think so as well.

i have found inspiration from photographers all over the world to create and not be blinded by the city and school rush and for once in a long time i feel like i'm living fully again.
i am so content.

p.s. i've just created a Facebook page for my photography! please do come and like it. :) Tasha Faye (photographer)

sweet and divine, razor of mine.

these photographs are of the beauty that is my hometown of Taiping. :) these were taken last weekend till midweek. i hope you'd forgive me for the one-week-long hiatus!

i've been busy with collegework and my first photography job! :) i have so much to share with you and so many photographs to show you and memories and adventures to tell you about. bear with me while i sort out everything.

all my love, T xx

somebody i used to know. (portraits)

a mini shoot with one of my bestest friends. :)
(i think you could tell i made her do it hahaha)
partly inspired by this:
i will be away for a few days for the Lunar New Year so i mightn't post in awhile! (i hope not though)

Happy Lunar New Year, i love you all xxx

heaven is a place on earth with you

i apologize for the mound of photographs i'm piling into each post. you see, i just have so many of them edited and ready to go and i can't update more often so it'll all have to go in one post. :(

on a different note, i hope you're all having a wonderful start to 2012 so far. :)

(because of Francesca's advice, i decided to get more into street photography. it is so addictive and i'm more satisfied with my images more than ever. sometimes i think people who live halfway across the world can tell more about me than i can sometimes and i quite like that.) :)

love is the coal.

a graffitied wall in the city
 the cat that sits on my wall
an injured bird that my dad and i rescued (that is now free)
 my new (half-Japanese) friend's shoes on which she drew herself
i love the city rush so much

i might feel, i might be loved but i cannot be bothered enough to feel anything for anybody because that will consume me, my mind, far too much
and i need me

it is such an impossible thought for me to be loved, such a foreign concept that i wonder if i am broken.
