Hello there!
I've been busy for COLLEGE, obviously. My uni has started a regular schedule for their college students since the mid of August. So, here I am, in the middle of my assignments, and I got bored with it and I started thinking to write something.
Have you ever been thinking of how you analyze a photograph, whether it's your own photograph or someone's? I often took pictures with my analog camera, and when I saw them after they'd been scanned, the feeling showed up. It's pretty irregular, either you felt happy or disappointed, or even vapid. It's always changing. I think sometimes I'm a too-much person, but I always have something in my mind when I see something that changes my perspective of seeing things. Photography did that to me; it drags me how to see something in a deeper way. HAHAHA, classy and dramatic. But, who cares.
I was skimming my photos and I found some of them that related to my personal life if I just analyze them a little bit. Here are some of my example photos.

ABOUT THE PHOTO
As a human being, we have memories while walking through our lives. It seems so often for us to forget little things that happened in life, even though those things can effect bigger in the future and transform us to be a better person. The title "Trash Surely Be Forgotten" is a representation of those little things or people that come and go in our lives, but surely they can be forgotten easily.
THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE PHOTO
I hunted to take some photos in an old building of Architecture major, in Parahyangan University. It's called Gedung 5. When I walked into the second floor, I saw a lot of trash and wasted papers. They were just there, being forgotten, even the content in the papers were very useful for college students who want to explore more about architecture.

ABOUT THE PHOTO
Explorers who travel to places like Italy, or any other countries outside Indonesia, they don't always have a lot of money or even knowledge about the places they want to visit. They don't always know what they want to do in the future after visiting the places. Explorers who spend time in traveling can be seeking for who they truly are, what they truly believe in. They seem lost at the moment, seeking what they want to seek, finding a little light for a new hope. This photo explains what can be seen is beautiful, but what can be felt by the explorers are hopeless and meaningless; like they got nowhere to go and only got stuck in their mind.
THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE PHOTO
One of the places that I admire, The Vatican City. It's always such a dreamy city for me to visit Italy. I felt so happy while taking this photo. But as days went by, I felt so strange with all of the beautiful scenes I have seen and got more confused of what should I do in the future (you know, it's like you stepped into a mind of yours and got stuck inside of it - it felt like you take a deeper way of thinking about yourself and your life). I mean, what people see and show are not always as beautiful as what people think in their mind.

ABOUT THE PHOTO
People who dig into the world of architecture or design are people who spend more time in a table, whether you draw manually or digitally with a laptop in almost 24/7 in front of you. Some of those people might think that a table could be their savior, their 'comfort zone', or 'second home' of theirs. But, with the thought of it, people are being obsessed by staying at their comfort zone and forget to open up more to outside world. They're being eaten by their own world, while there are a lot of more positive things that could be done for their good and people around them.
THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE PHOTO
I took this photo in Universitas Islam Yogyakarta. The concept of this photo is the relation between the title "People and Drawing Table" with my vision about the people who are obsessed with just one thing. They prioritize the thing they like the most, but often they forgot to care about places and people around them.

ABOUT THE PHOTO
A history is not always attached in an old building or in an old vintage thing. A history can be attached in a person, a human being. A form of a person's body, personalities, and his perspective today is the outcome of the history of himself, things that he has been through his life. How they act, how they talk, how they wear clothes, things like that are formed through the history they have seen, heard, and felt. So the outcome of people today is definitely different from each other because they've been through different backgrounds and history too.
THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE PHOTO
Photo hunting was in Gedung 5, Parahyangan University. Personally, I see that this building is one of the history processes that attached to myself, as an architecture student. The process of self formation, such as learning at school and playing with friends, is the process of making a history inside ourselves. This photo describes how I am right now because of the history of Gedung 5, and what things I've been through in this memorable building.
So, those were the photos I took with the concept behind them. It's just for fun, though. :)
Cheers!
