Akin’s Visual Journal #3
Wales in black and white.
In August—though it feels like a lifetime ago now—I spent a few days exploring the western coast of Wales, from Aberaeron to Cardigan Bay. I’m glad to have finally edited the images I captured along the way.
The result? A collection of mostly quiet, black-and-white photographs documenting my journey through the beauty of Wales, capturing its landscapes, and her people. But why Wales, you may wonder?
Yes, I went to Wales not merely to see, but to listen—to the land, the sky, and perhaps, to something within myself that needed a voice as old as the hills and as haunting as the sea. - Akin the unserious poet
One experience in particular took me by surprise. I met a family, we had a chat about life in Wales, and they offered to sing for me. Nothing could have prepared me for that moment, but I’m so glad I captured it all. It’s moments like these that remind me why I’m doing this—why I choose to tell these stories.
Now, you might understand why.
What’s better that a picture? A video! Where you can watch it all unfold.
I look forward to seeing more of Wales in my lifetime, you bet I highly recommend it also and hope you enjoy the trip as much as I did!
