I believe travel can restore our faith in humankin I believe travel can restore our faith in humankind as soon as it’s nearly stolen from us. just after one woman nearly ripped my camera from me, these two ‘sisters’ gave me back more than what I could have lost. 
new story on the zine. #coffeetographer
sweeter times? are we expounding on the memories sweeter times?

are we expounding on the memories of our recent times past? the places we liked to go. the dirty subways we rode. the dates we didn’t show up to, and still didn’t call? the letters we never wrote.

are we reminiscing on the moments that we were so consumed with documenting, that we didn’t live them? or, were we documenting them because we were besotted with living them?

are we remembering what was, simply because what was, may never be again? so then, what do we make now, what do we do now, what do we document now? will this time become what was, maybe what we wished we’d done? 
this was the first time I had an ube latte. the only other time I had something with ube in it, was previously in Manila in November of 2019. that time, I was given an ube ice cream by some friends, while on top of a grassy mountain. I can still smell the grass my heels sank into and I can still hear the buktots playing. 
when I met with the violet yam on the menu of this coffee shop, it brought me back to that memory which I didn’t photograph.

I remember this concrete slab and setting this drink on It, before I even sipped it. I remember all eyes looking at me, the girl putting her drink on the floor, to capture this first, regardless of what the drink tasted like. I wanted to preserve its formation before my lips disrupted it. 
now, life as we know it, is super warped. 
are we living only to have an epoch make us desiderate what was? disrupt what is, that lasts forever, so do first times. #coffeetographer
confinement is over in Paris and coffee shops are confinement is over in Paris and coffee shops are reopening, creating a new normal sending love to France and coffee speed to all the intimate spaces, talented baristas and cafe owners back on the coffee front lines.
where was I, when I became occupied with the hair where was I, when I became occupied with the hair combed behind his ears, his eyes, averted from facing me and yet fixated on the the liquid, rilling from a centuries old pot, ladling chai into a disposable mortar cup? 
today, the answer to this question exists in a current story on my webzine. moving forward, I’ll be posting less content here about what appears there and more content in a bi-weekly newsletter. 
to build community and more intimacy offline, these one page, monthly newsletters will be micro stories: on people, wellness, cultural fancies and of course, coffee that I’m head over cups into.

it will also provide a safer space to share images, foster things like a book club and launch special projects with you directly. 
i’ll still see you here, more in my newsletter and always at the coffeetographer dot com. 
drop your email in my dm to join me off app. i’ll see you there.
