Happiness In The Face Of Poverty

WARNING: POST IS IMAGE HEAVY.

Recently, I was able to visit a slum area with my friends, and other leaders from our church. Since we had a car and were part of a rather large group, I had no qualms about bringing a DSLR (my dad’s since his is smaller and lighter than my DSLR). I also brought my rangefinder camera because shooting with film is fun.

My walls need a bit of life

Beside my bed is a huge amount of wall. Blank wall. I have a large stack of photos lying on by night table waiting to be sorted and magic-taped on the said wall. However, I have no idea how to pull that off and make it look interesting.

I really need something to divert all the attention away from the soft pink and blue shades of my room. It always seems to be the first thing people notice when they set foot in my bedroom. I have a ton of posters too. But I usually just stick posters on the inner side of closet doors.

So, yeah. I decided on photographs. But I just don’t want to haphazardly tape stuff on my wall. So… any suggestions?

Boring boring boring wall

Say hello to my boring wall, which is so blank and smooth, it doesn’t even need laser hair removal in New Jersey (that didn’t make any sense at all). Help my poor wall, plz?
