I’ve been feeling sleepy all day, and 3 coffees didn’t save me from this. Today was finally the day I started writing my thesis. I finally came up with a good structure, and then locked in and overall wrote around 10 pages.
After I was done, I’ve decided it is time to go outside and have a walk. I really need to walk everyday for the next 2 weeks, so I get used to doing it in Japan. I took my camera and went out.
Wouldn’t say it was really interesting, but it’s whatever. I just need to accept that I must walk daily. I’ve been feeling quite hollow and emotionless lately, and it’s been bugging me a lot. Also annoyed at many things and people for some reason. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
While riding on the tram, some guy in military form came inside. I haven’t felt this big of a negative energy from someone in a really long time… He had a ton of concerning items on his uniform, some of which genuinely looked like explosives. And he had wires going everywhere too… He kept moving around in a jittery and restless way. I wasn’t alone in this observation, everyone in the tram stiffened up and kept looking at him secretly… I wanted to get out ASAP, and luckily my stop didn’t take too long.
I developed photos at home as usual with MacOS Photos app. I’ve liked the photos I’ve been taking in general, but I’ve been feeling like they’re missing the beautiful grain that sort of made me buy the camera. I’ve started coding the new project I’ve been thinking for a while - .ARW decoder. Not sure if I’ll be able to actually do it, but so far I just wrote (but didn’t fully finish) a simple TIFF decoder, since ARW files are just inside TIFF containers.
While coding this, someone suggested me to use Affinity instead of Photos. I got it, imported a photo of the bus stop, and what the hell!! The difference in clarity and grain was insane:
I’m always using Affinity from now on for developing everything. I can finally make my photos look like I’ve always wanted them to look…
