journal
“People and places have always caught my attention. In this space, I’ll be sharing more stories about both—things I see, moments I don’t want to forget, and maybe a few thoughts along the way. You might also come across some tips, camera shop finds, or quiet spots that stood out to me. If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to look around.”
— Best, John Navid.
