Conceptual photography is really awesome to do. You get to use your imagination instead of just framing a nice shot and shooting. I felt like a director and the best part was that I got to shoot on location in the woods! It felt like a big production.

It’s another picture of a sunset but this time I took it from a moving car. Look at it! The sun is setting beyond rolling hills, making it look like an active volcano.

I do love the sound and the feel of crunchy leaves under my feet. It’s not the same though, when you come across a thoughtlessly discarded pizza box among the vast carpet of dried leaves.  It was such an unfortunately captivating contrast that I had to take a picture of it; you get leaves that by nature, have been shed by a tree in it’s seasonal circle then you get a cardboard box (ironically made of paper which of course, comes from trees) carelessly discarded by an environmentally imprudent person. 

I also hope that someday I’m able to visit other countries just to watch how the sunsets from there. 

Wedding Entertainment 2. 2014.

Wedding Entertainment 1. 2014. These cultural dance group were the entertainment at a cousin's wedding I went to last year. They would sing, chant and stomp their feet while dancing and they did so with wide smiles on their faces.

Spare Change Happiness. 2013. Probably one of my favourite candid shots to date. I was walking through town with my camera just taking photos of people. This car guard was given spare change and the expression on his face was of a certain joy and I couldn't help but shoot. It's the small things.

Laughing Painter. 2013. This guy was laughing and talking with his painting partner and I was just snapping photos while he ignored me. His friend told a joke and I was lucky enough to snap this photo.

It’s amazing what you can come across when you just walk around your city with a camera. What I really like about walking around with my camera is that is forces me to really look at my surroundings. Instead of looking down at my feet or at passing people and cars, I’m able to take notice of my surroundings and more often than not, come across gems like this!

Mountain out of a molehill. More Terrible Puns to come!

After a long hiatus where I battled tutu clad dragons, chased thieving pricks, fell into an abyss of unicorn upchuck and been bereft of the means to once again enter the magical world of Tumblr, I am pleased to announce my return. So...what have been going on? Any noteworthy adventures I missed? Do tell, do tell!
