It has been over three years since I started this blog, and I never anticipated it would last this long. My previous attempts at creating one ended in failure. A dear friend, who shares my passion for hobbies, once told me that my blog lacked the classic, confrontational candid photography feel. Over time, I noticed that my ambition and skill set have deteriorated. I find myself imitating Instagram-style street photography, which is not truly my forte. I have also succumbed to the popular culture prevalent on social media.

I am now questioning whether this type of "faceless" street photography is really what my readers desire. I would greatly appreciate your comments and feedback.
