most importantly love
like it's the only thing you know how
at the end of the day all this
means nothing
this page
where you're sitting
your degree
your job
the money
nothing even matters
except love and human connection
who you loved
and how deeply you loved them
how you touched the people around you
and how much you gave them

💕
From cuddles in bed
to cuddles by the sea
and all the giggles in between.
Last week I sent this set to my dear friends in Tokyo. I had a lot of fun photographing for them and then packaging the photos for delivery too! Maybe I had too much time on my hands because I actually made a stop motion video of the latter 😅 I will share the video in a couple of days once the parcel is delivered! Stay tuned! @ Balmoral Beach

I finally visited the Tatsuo Miyajima: Connect with Everything exhibition at the MCA yesterday. I enjoyed the concepts his exhibition was based on; Time as the foundation, life as a countdown, change as a constant and death known as the void. Our favourite artwork was Mega Death (featured above) which was made for the 1999 Venice Biennale as his artistic interpretation of the 20th century which represented the most deaths in the entire history of life as a result of war.
We walked into the room when the lights were already blacked out and observed the lights flicker back to life one after another. After much pondering of the concepts and life in the last year I feel so grateful to be alive today. Today and every day is a gift. Time is limited and only moves forward - let's use it wisely. 🎁🤔

I think almost 50% of my blogposts include an apology for not writing enough - So I thought I would add to that list by writing another apologetic blogpost today which includes some sweet frames on film with my homegirl Minh in our hood Cabramatta!

P.s: I also changed the design and layout of my website so please feel free to have a look and leave a comment!

On the blog today, my engagement shoot with Tisha & John done back in 2014 and some reflections on what it means to be a photographer.

One from the archives. This is where it started - when I decided to take photography a little more professionally. I am so thankful to friends and friends of friends for referring me, trusting in me, allowing me to third wheel them to capture a little glimpse of their lives. In the last year I reali…

I was meant to complete this before 2015 ended... but, it's always better late then never. Seriously looking forward to the hiccups and joys the new year will bring :)

What a year 2015 was! The days brewed on slowly but the year flew by. In 2015 I continued working Full Time at my Corporate gig, my team kept changing through the year and somehow I managed to stay strong throughout. In between the months I picked up some shooting gigs for families and weddings, I s…
