There is no other way in the journey of self discovery. — The idea of becoming a professional artist and designer has been in my head for a long time now. Perhaps for about ten years I have been trying to archived that. Making money doing creative work. That has been the dream. I am not there yet. Although I feel I…

The importance of learning about the science of mind, emotions and expectations. — The hardest thing so far about publishing work from the archives has been dealing with the inner critic. The noisy neighbour, the eternal skeptic. Everyday when I show up to put a new story together and publish it all those thoughts rushes in trying to convince me why I shouldn’t…

The only way is Play, exploration, trial and feedback. — It is late at night, 23:16 to be precise. I have been working on making a new post today.

How I fell in love with Photography. — This is the first photo that I took using Instagram. This photo marks the start of my journey into Photography. I have just bought my first smart phone, an iPhone4. It was a lot of money for a student to spend but I have always wanted an iPhone since the…

The incessant noise of whinging in my head is annoying. — The nagging voice that is constantly complaining about how things are and how they should be. The unreasonable voice of ungratefulness. The lying voice of doubt. It never stops. It loves to put me down. Or would love to make me the king of the world. Both lies. It never…

A nod to his childlike playfulness. — The light in my parent’s house kitchen. The little metal wind chimes hanging of it. Curtesy of Dad. Now almost ten years later after taking them I am publishing them for the first time and they conjure up a lot of memories and meaning for me. Dad was making lights…
