I am a journaler. I have kept a written journal for most of my adult life, combining writing, drawing, photographs, cutting and pasting. My ‘book of scribblings’ accompanies me everywhere as does my camera, both in their respective coloured pouches. Often in ‘normal times’ I write in cafes and coffee shops, some regular haunts and some new ones I find along my regular wanderings. At the moment, because we are in lockdown, my writing is home based accompanied by my ‘Christmas Bells cup of chai tea.
The journalling aspect of this photographic project is exciting as are the stories accompanying the photographs. At the end of a year, I wonder what story my posted photographs will tell?
I love the interaction I can now have in my writing, journalling and photography between books (including dictionaries), writing (journals, fountain pens, coloured inks, watercolours etc), photography, research on the internet and contact with people like yourself all around the world. I have so many reseources at my disposal that work in different ways, at different speeds and satisfy different feelings. It is so exciting. And I am so glad you find it interesting as that is another satisfying part of it all. Thankyou for following. @yaorenliu
