I'm still going through some changes with my photography. In my last post, I talked about my necessary transition from film to digital, and I'm still there, still processing it, still observing its feel and taste. It's a difficult move. It almost feels like I've switched to a different language mid-sentence, without any option to go back; like I went full-time vegan in an instant, instead of gradually cutting out meat and dairy. It's indeed very refreshing to return to something I haven't done in a while, but I wish I could mix the two, instead of it being black-or-white.
Like I said before, I have a lot of things to say about the transition; about the visuals and textures; about what this new medium brings out of me (a lot of wide shots, weirdly enough), and whether "keeping the analog vibe in the process" is really possible or not - but I don't think I'm ready to talk about it yet. It feels kind of weird to write about something I'm still trying to figure out.
So for today, I thought I'd just share with you the walk I took yesterday morning in the small village of Paramytha (Cyprus), where I'm currently staying, while completely ignoring the fact that this whole thing still feels super bizarre to me.
Paramytha has an interesting look to it. A unique mix of old and new. A movie set feel, sort of, with its big empty coridors and what feels like a lot of unpopulated buildings. If I'm not mistaken, I probably saw maybe four or five people wander around in my 2-3 hour walk there. I almost got convined it's completely desserted, with its collection of somewhat abandoned construction sites and forgotten cars.
I definitely haven't taken enough pictures in that walk, but living a minute walk away from all these streets - it shouldn't bother me that much. It's kind of nice, having the option to just spontaneously hop on into these kinds of sceneries. I'm feeling very grateful for having the opportunity to stay here for a month.
