Parallel Paths.
September, 2018. sondern.the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed,…

cloud crests.
September 11, 2018. The best sunsets are after the rains. The best days come after the worst.It’s not that we never got insane sunsets before there was ever any rain, and it’s not that there were never any good days before those bad ones- it’s just that we appreciate the good after we’ve seen the…

Oxygen Ocean
02/09/18 3rd year of university, travelling back for the new year. It’s a long flight, so I usually try to get some shut-eye, but you know what it is like to sleep on an airplane, you have to steal pockets of time throughout the flight to nap, the rest of the time is just restless…

Melancholy Mountains.
June 10, 2018. Summer storms are a funny thing. One minute the skies are black and all hell is breaking loose, yet the next, the skies are blue, birds are chirping and and Mozart is playing.Such a stark contrast. The natural progression of a summer storm. The calm chasing the chaos. The cat chasing the…

Miniature Mountains
May 28, 2018. I am really quite a fan of tilt shift, especially when they perspective is right. The trouble it that you have to always be at a decent height or quite far away to make something majestic look miniscule. It’s a really cool effect tho, and I’ll continue trying to get shots like…
