I’m back from Alaska! That marks the last of my post graduation travel plans and I officially join the workforce this coming Monday.
The Alaskan scenery was beautiful but I’m still in love with the Norwegian landscapes. I was on a Alaskan cruise that departed from Vancouver and made several stops in Alaska. The cruise itself was alright, but more suited for the retiree more than a twenty something. They should have party ships that allow only twenty-somethings!
Month of Photography Asia
Anyone who’s interested in photography has got to check this out. Stop fooling around with your gear, waiting for the most perfect piece of photography equipment to show up on dpreview.com. Start seeing what people are doing.
Congrats to Deanna for her Solo show at the opening of MOPA. Great series “Life before Death”
Stever McCurry will be in town this week as well, too bad i won’t be in town to catch his exhibition.
Strangely enough, i seem to have seen the portrait of the tattooed man (click) at the MOPA taken by Francoise Huguier with her collection “Don’t Move”. Can someone check it out? If it’s the same guy, THAT WILL BE AWFULLY WEIRD.
See you when i’m back.

i don’t know either.
Got back from Aussie, got back from Krabi and soon off to Alaska.
Low creative point, fork in the road and the usual.
Read The Alchemist to shed some light on God and stuff, but disappointed.
my rf is wonky, viewfinder misaligned. Still haven’t gotten around to getting it fixed. No other camera to use except my rollei. Should start looking for a fm3a, but i’m broke.
ditch the D200, but then i can’t do “proper” stuff.
fml.
you deserve it.
back from aussieland

hi i’m back from aussie land. photos are still undeveloped and unscanned. will share some soon perhaps.
The cities were boring, and landscape was unchanging. It also wasn’t much of a grad trip because we did our own things and were separated most of the time.
I guess Australia is really about the outback, and if you don’t experience that, you won’t experience anything new. The cities were honestly standard fare cities. even the victorian architecture couldn’t save the show. Not forgetting how racism is widespread there. I feel pity for the ignorant.
Australia bound
Gearing up for aussie trip:
Hexar Rf, Konica Auto 1.6 as my spare film camera, Tri-X, Elitechrome, Velvia, Neopan, Ilford Pan, Moleskine and of course my LX3
See you guys in 2 weeks 
hands down

The streets were wet and the gates were locked
so i jumped it, and i let you in
and you stood at your door,
with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
i knew, that you meant it.
pick your favorite shade of black

Good news is (from previous post), i’ll be tentatively up for 2 exhibitions this year. Suddenly, the long break before work disappeared and I’ll be busy selecting my photographs, printing (traditional darkroom perhaps?), printing namecards, writing artist bios etc. Not forgetting shooting. I’ve yet to be done for the reunion show, and i’ve been giving myself excuses.
bad news? my grades are horrendous this semester. i hope i pass.
exams are over!

Today’s picture is of a church on one of the Greek islands, Mykonos.
Exams have finally come to a close! After weeks of sleepless nights, I can finally say that i’m ready to graduate.
I hope i pass my modules because I didn’t take my work seriously this semester. It didn’t help that the mods that i took were one of the heavier ones. If i fail something i’ll just die, because it means i can’t graduate on time, which will affect my job and essentially destroy my life.
Will be heading down to 2902 tomorrow to see about something. Will update if there’s good news!
Finally, yes there haven’t been much updates but i can finally say that i will be showing more stuff now that i’m slightly more free.
