space

there's this check in app i've been using since 2010 but only in March of this year did i really start posting photos there...

initially because i wanted to show the venue and the food for this event i was hosting,

subsequently because i wanted my new friend from miles away to have an idea what on earth these places that appear on his feed are (haha... presumptuous of me to think he'd wonder),

eventually, so venues would have the kind of photos that i myself would like to see when i drill down, i.e., i want to see how the place looks like...

a lot of the pics i've been posting are far from how i'd like them to be though... i'm currently in phase 1 of my take-a-pic 'project' and it involves taking a pic of the exterior... well, i just realized a lot of the places i go to have glass walls and if i stood where i should to get the shot i'd like then i'd be reflected on the glass... : }

i therefore have been making do with 'non-reflective' shots....
and i've taken a lot of awkward-angled shots because i don't have space... i'd literally be against the wall or against the shelves or against whatever while taking a shot...

i've actually thought of a drone but i don't think you can just readily fly one inside a mall...

i've also thought of getting a wide angle lens for my phone (i don't usually use my camera because security might start questioning when they see you using any professional-looking cams for the store shots)... i haven't though because i don't really want to attach anything, even if only temporarily, to my phone...

maybe i really should just be more creative in finding space...

haha... that word again:
space
-> always reminds me of the joke:

boyfriend/girlfriend asking for a cool-off: "i need space."

retort: "what are you, an astronaut?!"
