It happens sometimes that the material itself carries things you have not fully planned. The footage has its own right, its own life, its own vibrancy and energy in it.
maps underwear toothbrushes
I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.
party red events
