The perpetual state of 'out and about'

I woke up today feeling weak. That sort of feeling where you are almost 100% certain that this is the start of a week-long sickness. Those symptoms that almost resemble being a bit drunk. Spaced out and incapable of knowing whether you're hot or cold. But I felt the urge to get out anyway. Some of that sick feeling subsided over time, fortunately. And it allowed for a walk through the city and additional explorations, finding some really beautiful spaces that I had no idea existed despite having walked through the same streets so many times before. I was really happy to feel that sickness feeling slowly disappear and to feel some enjoyment outside with the camera. Though it felt oddly warm and sunny for what is now late November.

I walked through a few new streets near one of the city's largest features. Down a few residential spaces which were incredibly quiet and full of cats. I felt so much peace in these areas. I thought of how nice it would be live in them, which is odd because where I currently live is somehow considered one of the more high-end and luxurious areas of the city. I can't say I agree there! I walked through Soviet architecture and artistic spaces. Fine arts academies with beautiful designs on the buildings. Museums for artists I'd never heard of which were held within their very studios. I saw sculpted pieces standing in the quiet gardens outside of old jenga-styled Soviet Khrushchevkas. It felt as if I had entered the realm of the artist. Even down to the point in which second-hand vintage clothing shops appeared out of nowhere.

Yerevan's a tiny city but sometimes it feels larger than it is, when I roam through these new and old streets. When I explore the different environments and atmospheres. I am always on the hunt for something new and it never fails to bring something to me that I haven't seen or captured before. It makes the explorations with the camera that much more fun. That there are these layers to the city and only with more exploration and time will they be revealed to me. It's something I've grown to enjoy about the outdoors. Where previously back in England I felt bored of the same locations over and over. Whereas here it does feel a bit more unique, a bit more historical and engaging. Where I hear of the thoughts of tourists around me and even that brings up memories of things I had seen that they hadn't and now never will because of that changing landscape. Odd feelings when time passes and changes things so quickly.

I was talking to someone on here yesterday about how I wanted to upgrade my gear a bit and how I was feeling some of the limitations from it. One of which being a wider focal length lens. This day was definitely one of those days where I really wish I had a bit more space to capture a frame. Looking at how beautiful some areas were with my own eyes but the tighter look of it in camera didn't quite capture the same vision I had. I guess in a way even those limitations can spawn future inspiration within a space I've now already been to, as there are additional ways in which I can capture them and their atmospheres. Even with the way the light interacts within the space. So many light rays as of late! Pushing down into the golden and brown leaves that fill the streets. Incredibly beautiful!

The more I do this, the more I think this is what I was meant to do. To roam around and find aspects of life to capture. I do think there's more that could be done regarding that, with how I also interact with people and change things up so it isn't something I always do alone. To find people to add to these environments and connect with them through it. To tell stories. Back to those filmmaker roots that I have been missing so much.
