I teach a weekly photography class at a local girls’ school. Been teaching it for about 2 years now, it’s a fun little side hustle that helps keep me sharp. Also teaching is the whole reason I went to grad school so hey, gotta put that degree to good use. Due to safety reasons, the […]
Double Vision HKG
Around the time I was doing weddings, I decided to stop lugging around a DSLR on a daily basis. Aside from the obvious weight issue (Nikons are heavy bishes), I was having trouble disassociating work from leisure, my own photography from my “brand”‘s photography, if that makes any sense. It just made everything feel like […]
Revival
Here’s some facts about this blog: 1. When I started shooting 13 years ago, I posted everything I photographed on Livejournal. It was easy, familiar, quick, fun. I had a community over there, so I would get pretty hearty feedback with each post. I also liked the format – the long scroll of images that […]
American artifacts
It’s certainly been an interesting past couple of days on this here planet we call home. Drumpf’s election might ring a few alarm bells for those of us living here in the archipelago, as it just feels all too familiar. That plus recent events here locally have got me feeling fearful, helpless and disconnected. That […]
NYC 2016
Spent some time on the east coast of the U.S. earlier this year to photograph a wedding, hang out with friends, spend time in Brooklyn and be sick all over my host’s living room. It was my first long haul trip by myself, so i got to do all the things i wanted to do […]
Tokyo, Osaka
Happy new year, everyone! Here’s the second wave of images from my trip to Japan in November. I felt like the character of these images was vastly different from my Kyoto images, which is why I decided to space them apart. I’m quite a moody editor when it comes to these blog posts: I’ll edit […]
Kyoto
Everyone’s in Japan, and so was I! Walked through Kyoto for a few days and filled my lungs with fresh-ish autumn air. Learned that you have to make sure when you’re buying a drink from a vending machine to pay attention to the temperature of your choice. Otherwise you just end up with a mouthful […]
Old Manila
Some evidences of a trip I took out to Old Manila. I thought it made perfect sense to take an old technology with me. I would venture that this is the beginning of a larger project, especially since i just bought me a packet of them swanky Hello Kitty Instaxes.
I Radio Heaven
This is one of the first projects that I worked on when i moved to Hong Kong in 2013. It was a very spiritually tumultuous time for me, and i was very interested in the ways people found to physically manifest connections with what they valued spiritually – whether it was God, or ancestors, or […]
In Between
This project was done for my Photo Documentary class, taken in the Spring of 2013. I documented the walk from where i live in Hong Kong to where i go to school, a bus ride that i take every single day. I would always see things from the bus and think, “Damn i wish i […]
Transitions
Spaces between places.
Entropy Beast
Hong Kong is a great city to get lost in, by virtue of the fact that its sheer randomness gives its streets so much gosh durned personality. It is overrun with weirdness and i like it, and this post will make that evident, but it’s a disciplined entropy. The trains are seamless and efficient. I’ve […]
Things That Fly
I’m in the midst of a lot of new work, especially since my move to a whole other country, so my backlog for this blog is growing ever fluffier and fluffier. Forgive my lateness to the party which is the Lantern Parade 2012. I do my best to attend every year, and this year was […]
Singapore
Welcome to the new blog, everybody! This is where i’ll be relegating my personal, non-wedding/love/romance/loveydoveyschmoopy work. It is to encourage me to continue to create it! To kick things off, i’m posting some of my photographs from a recent trip to Singapore. I actually went over there to shoot a couple (wouldn’t you know!), and […]
Humans of Quiapo
Inspired by Brandon Stanton’s ubiquitous and wonderful project, Humans of New York, i walked around my own city and took my own portraits under the watchful eye of Mr Luis Liwanag. People are fun!
BBC Photowalk
I got asked by the BBC recently to document the widening wealth gap in Asia for an online photogallery illustrating the subject. They only used nine of the hundreds of images i took walking around the city, but was really happy with the rest of my work from my shooting days, so i am sharing […]
