I have lived in Brighton for over a year now, and sometimes I forget just what a beautiful city it is. Life gets on top of me and I feel trapped, and all it takes it to resee the city. Venture out and find beautiful things.
A couple of weeks ago I explored The Laines with my friend Nina, she has her own blog go check it out
(www.nouw.com/niinahirvonen) and I fell back in love with Brighton. After having a coffee in The Laines we went and explored Snoopers Paradise. A place that holds the most bizarre things. The weather was crap but that Brighton vibe was buzzing through the streets, there is something about this seaside town that can just uplift you.
I really enjoyed messing around and taking all sorts of photographs. There were so many interesting things, from all kinds of sunglasses to old photographs and toys from many years ago. Here are the photos I had taken.
This is one of my favourite photos, I love the compass necklace and the dress. I used a filter to make it dark and brings out the red, I feel like I will definitely be writing poetry inspired by this photo.
I am not sure what I love the most about this photo, the necklace or the old style books below the stand. Snooper's paradise is so aesthetically pleasing, there is something new and cool in every nook and cranny.
I adore this photo because of the serious Alice feels. You can only see a singular page in this photo but along the wall hands pages from Alice in Wonderland. This huge piece hands over the stairs and it is just stunning.
From this little trip in Brighton I learned that your soul needs freedom, take a day out of mundane things and explore. Enjoy life for what it is, I think we all need that reminder from time to time.
I will be posting some of my own writing, poetry and prose in the next couple of weeks. Inspired by some of these photos as well as other mediums. I cannot wait for you guys to see some of the things I have been working on.
We are back to updating regularly, I know I was awol for a while but I have been planning blog posts and basically getting my shit together! Thank you for reading.
A question I want you to think about, what makes your soul happy?
