About Me


First fact: I am hopeless at these "about me" boxes.
Loves photography (I'm the one behind the lens), music and good movies just like everyone else out there. I also tend to spend too much time online and not enough in the real world. Currently trying to break the habit cos it doesn't get me a tan and I find myself pointing friends to my website when they ask "hey wassup?", instead of having conversations. I love the slap of palms on skin drums and the sound of fire in motion. Obsessed with the paintings of orange trails in the night sky, I have major love affairs with reds and oranges. Recent times have seen a newly discovered crush for the color green. I like colors. I also like black & whites. Vibes are more my thing than 'things'. Unless it's my apple products or my digital SLR. I tried photography as a profession for a little bit, and although one of the best experiences ever, I have come to realise that sometimes working for your passion kills it - at least when it is dictated to you. Very content now to shoot whatever whenever and wherever and find it a never-ending source of energy from which I draw from. I tend to photograph or write what I am unable to verbalise. Speech may not be my strongest asset but I see and hear quite well thank you. I am also thankful for many this and thats. Hopeless at remembering birthdays but that doesn't mean that you are any less important, it just means that I celebrate everyday that you are here :) I apologise in advance anyway.
I don't believe in forevers but I do have a philosophy of moments ... however long they may last. So savour seek and salut this journey in its entirety, soak in its infinite dimensions and love even though you're scared shitless.
... and the stars they rained down on me
