Blue Day and shots, beauty shots....

Just an ordinary Wednesday, the kind that usually slips by unnoticed, found me walking aimlessly. I had my camera slung over my shoulder, like someone clinging to something without quite knowing why. After so many days of rain and grey skies, this one had a strange kind of light—bluish, almost artificial, but alive. I left the house without a plan, just with the feeling that I had to go.

I wasn’t looking for anything specific—I just started paying more attention. The usual things, the ones always there, seemed to take on a different form. A rusty balcony, a wind-bent plant, the sky’s reflection in a cracked sidewalk puddle. Everything felt like it had something to say, even if I couldn’t quite translate it. The quiet of the neighborhood helped too.

What’s odd is I didn’t feel happy, but I wasn’t down either. It was more like an internal pause, a truce. As if that Wednesday had offered me a moment of stillness without asking anything in return. And in that weird calm, I could see more clearly. I stopped without guilt, which is no small thing. I just looked, simply.

I realized beauty doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it sits on a corner, slips through a torn curtain, or patiently waits for you to slow down. And I did—I slowed down. It wasn’t life-changing, but it was enough. I saved what I could with my camera, as if that could trap the moment. Or at least the feeling.

In the end, the photos weren’t meant for likes or validation. They’re an excuse to go back to that Wednesday, when everything felt lighter. I don’t know if it was the sky, the sun, or the way I let myself drift. But for a second, it all seemed to make sense. The important thing wasn’t what I saw—it was taking the time to really look.

I love walks like this, especially when there are trees, shadows, streets but you also captured specific moments of the walk and that's great!
