It’s hard to believe it, but last time I’ve been to Villa was November last year. I came from Istanbul for a few days, and on my first day brother and I drove to Villa so I could see father.

One of the reasons I’ll never make photography anything more than a hobby (although perhaps a very passionate one) is that I’ve very little interest in getting out of my comfort zone. I’m not much of a photographic explorer. Throughout the years I take many photos of the same things. I don’t even do it intentionally, it’s just that they attract my (admittedly very limited) attention over, over, and over again. Car park right next to my building, my windowsill, puddles, rails, light, lately trolleybus interiors — and views from my windows. I take a lot of these, and now that it’s the end of 2011 and I’m tallying up all the things I’ve ‘produced’ this year, I was surprised to find out that this year the number is surprisingly small. The amount of photographs I took in 2011 is surprisingly small in general, though. It seems to be steadily decreasing since 2009. I want to blame it on my cellphone, but I don’t think I could.
Without further prattle, here are all the window photos that are worth sharing look better than others.

In compliance with my goal of posting the backlog of photos, here are some autumnish ones, dating back to the epic 2002. Basically, these are my first tries of running around with a camera that’s not a) film b) with one button.
Results varied greatly, but these aren’t too bad. Mostly because it’s hard to ruin autumn leaves.
We begin with a sad blurry boat. It gets easier, I promise. But not by much.
