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 […]
Woven photographs
These were some things i was experimenting with way back, in 2010. I hadn’t really seen any of Dinh Q. Lê’s work (who you should Google, and check out his images, because they are legiiiiit elaborately woven photographs) until i brought these samples to my seminar class in Hong Kong. From there, I pingponged into […]
the art of forgetting
Some oldish semi-melodramatic work that i did earlier this year while attempting to destress from my workload. I thought it would never see the light of day but I’ve decided I actually kind of like it. it’s like trying to level a city with an ice pick This work may require some degree of Photoshop […]

Thanks to Nang Merley, Nang Gina, Nang […]

Floragrams
May 2020 update: I have no idea why i left this entry word-free when it originally went up in December 2013. To be honest, I was going through quite a rough patch personally at the time that I made these, so i guess it was difficult for me to talk about. Let’s respect the Sandra […]
Studies in Sand
Transitioning from white coral sand to dark volcanic sand.
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 […]
