Proud to be an AMERICAN!
It is not everyday you become an American Citizen and if your like me you know its a journey.
Being born a Singaporean and moving here to this great country America at a young age of 12, it was a whole new world that i wasn’t initially expecting. Growing up since then i have adopted this place as my home, I’ve made some of the greatest human beings here through my career as a Creative Photographer & Designer.
I’ve ventured and traveled all around this massive beautiful country, seeing all its beauty which i still have much more to explore. “September 18” a very major milestone of my life, this is the day i became an American and i must say i am very proud to be one as you can see.
If you know me of course i had to make sure i look the part for it, i purchased an American Flag Suit from OppoSuits ( If your looking for Nifty Unique to stand out this is the site to shop for ), American Socks, Shoes & Cufflinks from Amazon.
I definitely stood out during my American Rites of Passage at the Muskogee Courthouse, i even made the Judge stop in mid sentence & pointed out at me how epic it was lol. I had to also rock it out with my Sony a6000 w/ HoldFast Ruckstrap & HoldFast Roamographer Bag ( http://www.holdfastgear.com ).
With such a unique outfit of which ill be wearing twice a year on Independence Day & my American Citizen Day, i had to do a shoot in it. I contacted a close friend Jonathan Theejonboi of Aiming Arrow Photography ( www.aimingarrowphotography.com ) who is an amazing & talented Wedding & Portrait Photographer here in my hometown Tulsa,Oklahoma to do a shoot of me. He did an incredible job and I'm very pleased with the images.
Shoutout also to Jonathan for the incredible images, Jimmy Thon & John Santa Cruz who has helped me all year with Sony & Matt Swaggart from HoldFast Gear. Well heres the results of it and want to thank everyone who has supported me over this journey especially my parents & friends.
