Autumn in Ireland – 10/2022

A collection of images taken in Dublin, Ireland in October 2022.

Ireland is the fall is a MUST. We spent most of our time sightseeing, browsing bookshops (with English books galore, it was fantastic), drinking coffee, and checking off all the must-sees in the area.

Things I enjoyed doing include:

  • Visiting the Guinness Storehouse
  • Hiking through the Wicklow Mountains
  • Having a cider at the famous Temple Bar
  • Browsing bookshops in Dublin
  • Visiting the Cliffs of Moher (on the west coast)
  • Trying all the coffee from local coffee shops (places included below)

All the images I’ve included in this album represent feelings of Autumn to me.

Each photo was taken using my lightweight Sony camera. You can check out a complete list of my current street photography gear here.

Fun news ✨ Stoked to share this with y’all. Fun news ✨

Stoked to share this with y’all. 

A couple of months ago, Bold Journey reached out and asked me to share a piece of my journey. As a naturally private person, I did my best to open up! 

In this article, I shared my path to uncovering my purpose while pursuing my education, the top 3 qualities that helped me grow, and a book I recommend for others resisting their creative calling.

You can read the full article here:

So so so grateful for the opportunity to share! 🫶🏼

These have me thinking 🤔 My fav thing to photo These have me thinking 🤔

My fav thing to photograph = our travels (this is Iceland in 2022, btw). 

And while I still do photograph our travels, I don’t set up pictures of myself like these as often. 

A couple of years ago, I got the ick with sharing my personal life online. So I slowly stopped.

I found that the happier I became and the more I accomplished, the less I needed to share my life online. I cringe thinking back to me in 2021 lol. 

But it’s funny… once I ditched sharing on my personal acct, I didn’t need so many pictures of me. 

Back then, I wondered… Why do we share our personal lives online? Why do we share what we do? 

Are we looking for attention? A dopamine hit? To brag? To find ppl like us or stay connected? Are some of us lonely and looking for validation? Idk.

Lately, I’ve been asking myself a similar question. 

Why do I share my pictures on this account? Would I still take the same pictures w/out an IG? How is social media influencing how I use my camera? 

I know for a fact that I would still take pictures (I’m literally obsessed) but probably not the same ones.

And maybe it’s just me…

But do you ever wonder, how Instagram influences how you use your camera + what you photograph?

all images were shot on my Fujifilm x-t50, using the provia standard and velvia vivid film simulations. 

I’m not a huge fan of shooting on fully overcast days or in super crowded areas but I gave it a go anyway!
