2023-08-07: website created
i'm launching this website as a place for my work in photgraphy. it's important for me to set goals in relation to my hobbies and creating a website will help me fulfill some of those goals. it will do this by giving me a space to reflect on my work and, more importantly, think about how i want my work to be viewed.
2023-11-18: new beginnings
i've begun revamping this website and i'm adding more things (like this blog!). the site has been dormant for some months, but i'm feeling motivated and i'm trying new layouts and appearances. hopefully it looks more professional now. as for the blog, i plan on updating it at least monthly. it's likely that no one will read it, but it will be nice to look back on.

good news! i'm finally shooting with a "real" camera again, and i'm loving it. i picked up an oly em10-ii and it makes my photography process incredibly easy. i've paired this camera with a 28 mm f2.8 and a 50mm f1.4, which are 56 and 100mm on full frame, respectively. going back to what i said earlier, the live zoom, focus peaking, and flip up screen have really helped me compose my shots better and i think that demonstrates itself in my photography. for example, i've taken a lot more shots that i'm happy with recently. i will be uploading those to the gallery soon! thanks for reading.

i definitely have kept my promise about updating this monthly! i graduated and stuff and i'm still doing photography
2024-07-03: a better blog
a day early?? insane. not a lot has changed but one crucial thing! i finally got a wide angle lens for my om-d em10ii, the m.zuiko 17mm f2.8, made by olympus themselves. you can go see what it looks like on the gear page! i think it looks amazing on the body of the camera (almost like it was meant to be there or something). once again though, micro four thirds surprised me with how tiny it can get. i can truly call my camera a pocketable one now and it is so light. it was a huge weight off my shoulders, to say the least. in all honesty, its performance suprised me for how old it is, as well as considering that it was one of the first lenses that came out for the mft mount. the only minor drawback is autofocusing with video, it can be hunt a lot and be loud, but i don't really shoot video and if i were to, i would use manual focus anyways, the camera offers focus peaking which aids with this too. overall it is a fantastic lens and i'm really happy with what i got for the price (around $100 usd). recently, i've posted lots of pictures that i took with this lens on my instagram. check them out if you'd like! jaanu i know you're reading and i hope you have a wonderful day today, mi amor. other than this, check out raveena's new album "where the butterflies go in the rain" as well as "submarine" from the marías. thank you for reading! i'll see you in august <3
2024-08-13: from the start
i missed the one year anniversary this website but i'm here 6 days later to celebrate! i'll be starting college not too long from now, and i'm pretty excited! i'm really looking forward to meeting new people and sharing my own interests. i hope i find lots of people interested in the same things i'm interested in, and i hope my interest in those things grow because of this. specifically, i'm most interested in meeting other photographers, though i'm not too sure how easy it'll be to do so since the photography club's instagram page has been inactive since the covid years. either way, i'm looking forward to this year in my life, and i have a person to stick by through all of it, thanks for being in my life (you know who you are <3)
2024-09-28: domain and domain
hey everyone! i just got a new domain name: fabian.exposed! in hindsight it sounds like a naughty site but whatever, that makes it cooler right? it's cool because i do photography and stuff and in order to take a photo you must expose it first and stuff yeah yeah anyways..
