🚶🏻🪑[ 花草樹木 ]🪵🥀 任時間風化的漂流木 道道疤痕留下的紋路 每一幀都是時光的雕塑 那不斷增長的歲月數目 每個瞬間 走過的每一步 都還來得及說是一場慶祝 枯萎了曾經綻放的幹燥花 和一些被時間靜止的心裏話 空擋的行李 在空無一人的家 要好好學習一個人長大 臉上多了幾道疤 身上多了幾幅畫 既然要建家 記得滋養花 成長充滿著疑惑 時不時也會懦弱 世界很遼闊 潮起又潮落 這都是塑造人生的輪廓 無論年數 願能成爲自己的大樹 任樹枝蔓延到最深靈魂處 看穿了迷霧 清醒的人不苦 自己內心 自己安撫 哪怕已枯 也不腐 雖然時間可能輕輕侵蝕我們回憶的束縛 但它也賦予了我們愈合和更新當作禮物 不哭不哭 不苦不苦 #二十七 #要爭氣 #要珍惜

✍🏻📖🚶🏻[ 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 ] 🪡📸☕ What a dreamy year it has been, my dear 2023. A journey rooted with change, subtle and free. 🪩📸 From familiar tunes once confined to my mind, now once danced through the air we shared, in the concerts they twined. The indie melodies echoed like wildflowers grew, concerts became gardens where dreams softly blew. With the eyes of my camera in these unfurled dream, I find myself capturing moments, a snapshot of their gleam. In hues and shadows, I painted the darkest day, But with a photographer's heart, I found art in the fray. 🚶🏻✍🏻 Beautiful souls like stars in the night, crossed paths on this journey, weaving stories bright. Some I hold on to my right, some I chose to let fate ride. If there's one thing I've learnt right, is to not hold on to anyone tight. The heart shall find it's way to write, while the mind can stay in sight. 🫗☕ Being a barista standing, within coffee and the steam, a childhood dreams poured into a cup, it would seem. Learning the dance of each aromatic note, a sip of fulfillment, while nostalgia afloat. I find myself brewing passion into each cup, as the childhood memories slowly waking up. 🪡🖌️ In the realm of creation, I found my abode, artistic endeavors, the seeds that I sowed. Under the moon's soft glow, the stories spun, stars etched in ink, constellation became one. Tattooing untold stories on the canvas of skin, ink of connection exists, even it's 1 to 2mm thin. Oh how lucky I must have been, to have the honour to be seen. Doing all the things above, while creating pieces that I love. ✨📕 As the clock winds down on this enchanting year, my gratitude blooms, like flowers dear. To the moments, the people, and the dreams that took flight, within the string of time, woven just right. With gratitude in my heart, And dreams to explore, Welcome, 2024, Through these abstract yet vivid metaphor. #thankyou2023 #welcome2024 #itakephoto #imakecoffee #idotattoo

🚶🏻📝 [ 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 ] 🌇☕ You don't want to hear my stories. They and you, they don't mean to be. But ever so lightly, when the sunset shines across the street, as the rays slowly find its way to me, within those warm golden beams, I feel weak. Might just share everything that means the world to me. You might stay, or shall you leave. It's all up to your own destiny. I'm just a tiny man, wondering if all these feelings could ever mean something. I think too much, speak too little but write too loud. I wonder if it ever gets annoying. So I put my pen to rest, until September slowly ends. Unspoken words seems to sneak through every cracks I've been carrying, wanting to be seen. Like the sunset of the place I make coffee. They found me, slowly settling in. In a place I put myself in. #september #sunset #coffeeshop

📸✨ 在這個不被原諒的世界, 我們要好好學會先原諒自己。

🌄🎢 [ 落日飞车 ] 👁️✨ 第一次以听众的视角观望 那日落而息, 追逐光的喧嚷 内心与共鸣所引起的波浪 留在了昨天那熟悉的晚上 过程中一度摘下了眼镜框 想用耳朵看清朦胧的前方 让萨克斯的伴唱指引方向 我看见了感触的光芒万丈 所有的不安都得到了安葬 又完成了个没想过的愿望 原来渺小的我也盼望夕阳 陪伴了我多年的独立音乐 在无数个失眠的慢慢长夜 所有季节的更换 和那不定的冷暖 唯有这个夜晚, 是多么难忘。 more on highlights 🌄🎢 #sunsetrollercoaster #infinitysunset #落日飞车 #夕阳无限好听

📸🚶🏻[ 五月晴 ]👁️✨ 在这短暂的人生中能偶遇 在同样的时空和地理相聚 同时看着相同的一场大雨 这是多少万分之一的几率 虽然过程场景各异 承载着各自的过去 接纳着不同的顾虑 和被改变的可能性 你说活着的人啊... 是多么有趣? 不再用文字惋惜回忆 而是纪念过程中切记 要拥抱好多好多自己 还有很多犯错的勇气 庆幸五月天气还算晴 充满熟悉歌声和旋律 所有突如其来的机遇 让我还能够再次痊愈 所以说声谢谢你 还好我没放弃 时间总向我奔涌而来 而我会用尽所有力气 来接纳每个瞬间的你 五月晴, 五月风, 五月雨 都庆幸, 都包容, 都相需 #thankyoumay #youvebeengreat

🪩✨[ 假设 ]👁️📸 整片天空的光都照在你身上 只是你渾然不覺 折射你的所有視線 總覺得即將要被世界拋棄的假設 痛苦和快樂 自由是苦澀的酒 但我不能再一直想你 所有的歌, 都有你的痕跡 隱約能夠感覺風輕吹過我的手 在這片藍藍的天 可以慢慢想念 我用你的眼睛看 用力的想得到答案 看穿了迷霧 卻深為清醒所苦 當我不能再一直想你 所有的歌, 都有你的痕跡 我不能再這樣唱歌 陪我走完, 這一路泥濘。 more shots of @decajoins 📸 at highlights 🪩 #decajoins #taiwanindiemusic #concertphotography

🪩✨[ 五月梦 ]👁️📸 五月初夏梦迷离, 雨珠绽放在眼底, 种种挫折都经历, 如今焕然一新起. 初次听见比旋律, 有趣时而带点雨, 熟悉歌声再响起, 恍如初次遇见你. 岁月流转何其速, 某天迎来新生路, 昔日往事埋深处, 如今心中燃枯木. 从得, 到失, 到原谅, 酸甜苦辣都品尝, 心动感触都犹藏, 青涩岁月已过往. 但愿不再对自己说谎, 往后只求勇敢逐光芒. #babychairmusic #jeantoniccc #softsoftpillow #malaysiaindiemusic #concertphotography

📸✨"May I have a dreamy May" 🪩🛌 This marked my very first time trying to photoshoot for a concert. Words simply couldn't express how proud I am, to have the opportunity to see how it started till what the band has achieved now. Congrats, @softsoftpillow 🛌 "It's funny how, the performers on stage, could never really see their audiences." I've thought to myself sometimes. "Isn't it quite sad metaphorically?" He said. "No" I said. "It just simply means that they would sing as tenderly as they can, in order to reach them. They believe in them, as much as they do." As the photographer, I guess it's my job to be their eyes, when they're seeing with their soul. Thank you for such an amazing opportunity. I'm extremely honoured, and beyond blessed. ✨ #softsoftpillow #malaysiaindiemusic #concertphotography

🚬🚶🏻「 願望, 是原諒 」🌱🍰 在镜子中凝望, 曾已失去的光芒, 那陌生的摸樣, 心中卻無從計量. 人生之路如此漫長, 教會我們前行游蕩, 卻沒說該如何回顧曾經的影像. 我們都懂得世界的規則, 可還是難免會做錯選擇. 世界或許早已忘了它們, 你所負載的卻是永遠刻在內心的疤痕, 雖已不痛, 卻任烙印在靈魂中的大門. 回首著過去的經歷, 記憶依舊如此清晰, 當年傷痛與缺口的足跡, 如今已成為翅膀的助力. 我想唯有原諒自己, 才能夠看清所有記憶, 都有著更偉大的意義, 只要不再逃避或放棄, 何嘗不是繼續創作的靈感之一. 願自己, 生日快樂, 425jc. #原諒 #願望 #生日快乐

🚬🚶🏻[ 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 ]🌱🍰 My flaws, my ego, my mistakes. My time, my track, my endless chase. My break, my shake, my led astray. My beliefs, my trust and my shakened faith. Lost love and failed business, I've had my share, Broken dreams, unanswered prayers, all seems fair. Another year older, another year wiser, Yet still, I feel like a failed miser. When I couldn't latch on to your silhouette, I turned around, and fall on to some cigarettes, From sunsets, to the cold night bed, Like smokes, it lingers under the place we met. The earth is round, but the people who left, could never come back around. Like an unclaimed lost and found. For I know that life, is a journey we all take, With twists and turns, and some mistakes. I thought I had it all, the perfect plan, But life had other ideas, I didn't understand. So let me fall, if I must fall, The one I will become, Will catch me once more. So in pain, I'll rest. When tomorrow came, I'll try to be my best. To pick myself up, when I fall down, To face my fears, and not to drown. I'll face the world, with head held high, Ready to laugh, ready to cry. But this time, it's for my sake. My dreams, my hopes and my remains. My smile, my love, and my embrace. Life is not perfect, it's not meant to be, But I'm still here, and I'm still me. I've learned to love myself, through all the pain, To find the sunshine, even in the rain. Happy 26th to me, May your heart find its place to set free. Like the date suggests, the season of spring. From flowers bloomed, to sunrise beam, Who knows, what tomorrow could ever bring? So have an open heart and keep smiling, You're too soon to understand everything. Try to be a little kinder with you and me, Forgive yourself and you'll find peace. You'll reach, where you want to reach. Slowly, but eventually. Sincerely, Yours, 425jc. #forgive #foryou #forme #inthemix #findthefix #happy26

🚶🏻🎒📸[ letters to you ]✍🏻📝📖 When I was young, where I could barely speak, I saw one of your paintings, The Starry Night, that falls on Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. I didn't know how to describe it, but somehow it touches deep, somewhere deep within. I fell in love with art that makes you feel something, ever since. As I grow older, somehow I realise your eyes, they speak more than I could ever imagine. How life could wither, and along with all your creations, they all slowly disappear. Of all the letters that you've sent, how I wish I could send you one instead, telling you the recognition that you've gained. How you've now buried six feet under, but your creations have made an impact among all your fans, and how quickly your grave would be filled with castles of letters by them. I couldn't have fathom back then, of how much suffering you've been through, from splitting ears to eating paint. But unfortunately now, you're loved, by the people that could barely understand. What a mad world you must have been living in. What a beautiful world you must have been reaching for. I hope you're there now. It must have filled with flowers in the field of yellow. A place of no more sorrow. #vangoghalive #exhibition #expressionism
