For me, the most important part of improving at photography has been sharing it. Sign up for an Exposure account, or post regularly to Tumblr, or both. Tell people you’re trying to get better at photography. Talk about it. When you talk about it, other people get excited about it. They’ll come on photo walks with you. They’ll pose for portraits. They’ll buy your prints, zines, whatever.

When it dies, swap them all.

I’ve got a Fujifilm X100s. It runs about $1300. It’s easily the best camera I’ve ever owned. I take care of it as best as I can, but I don’t let taking care of it impact the photography. Let me elaborate on that a bit better. You’ll get better at each section of what we talked about slowly. And while you do, you’ll be amazed at how much easier it all is and how the habit forms. The best way to get better at photography is start by taking your camera everywhere. If you leave your house, your camera leaves with you. The only exception is if you’re planning for a weekend bender — then probably leave it at home. Other than that, always have it slung over your shoulder. It would probably help to get an extra battery to carry in your pocket. I’ve got three batteries. One in my camera, one in my pocket, one in the charger.

This is what has happened to us. We want the things we have been doing forcefully to fail. And then maybe people around us would let us try something else or our dreams. We are accustomed to live by everyone else’s definition of success. We punish people for the things they are passionate about, just because we were unable to do the same at some point in our life.

This shift dress in our easiest drapey crepe fabric is finished with special wide cuffs, polished covered buttons and a slight nipped-in waistline. Excellent seasonal transition dress, length is perfect, crepe is lovely and just weighty enough. Fits perfect, will wear again & again!

Found: an easy, pretty top you can wear with everything from jeans to a suit. Crafted from our famous 365 crepe, it drapes beautifully, resists wrinkles and looks polished even after a day of back-to-back meetings. The thick texture gives this skirt a structured form that is vey flattering. Much more sophisticated than simple wool.

You asked, we listened… Our original No. 2 pencil skirt silhouette is back, and it features exactly what you’ve been missing—like a waistband that sits lower on your waist and that still-flattering knee length. Bonus: Our extra-flattering textured matelasse fabric (also featured on our matching Portfolio jacket, FYI)

Being in the top will only grant you a good life’ has been the mantra of my life. But at times, I wish I was an average student. I wish decisions would have not been so straightforward. Matybe I would have played cricket- the only thing I feel passionate about. Or maybe I would have studied literature (literature drives me crazy). Isn’t that disappointing- me wishing to be bad at academics. It’s like at times I hate myself for the stuff I am good at.

A venenatis ad fermentum nascetur

I feel like these concrete buildings have sucked our desires and our dreams. We are so used to comfort that compromise seems like a taboo. We have lost faith in ourselves. If we can make through it right now, we can do the same in the days to come.

Mattis vestibulum nisl erat pretium morbi

Staying locked up in four walls have restricted our thinking. I feel like our limited thinking echoes through this wall. We are so used to schedules and predictable life that we have successfully suppressed our creative side.
