Korea Randoms #02
I’m almost halfway through my trip to the homeland and I miss Toronto. Which would I classify as my “home”. I would say Toronto. I’ve come to really love Toronto and it’s multicultural colouring. I can’t believe I’ve already been living there for 10 years!!!! Time does fly. I love how I can eat whatever [...]

It’s not about the equipment
Terry Richardson knows this. He appears at a shoot with a Yashica T4 LOL yea and people would laugh but then he produces this: I think it’s especially hard as a young photographer to really let that sink in. It’s so easy to let your ambition speak through what kind of equipment you have. When [...]
rock climbing
so…i’ve been meaning to go rock climbing for the longest time! My brother used to do it when we lived in pakistan (which i now realize is a crazy place to go rock climbing) and my friends kept asking me to go. However, I have a fear of heights and though I really wanted to [...]
Woogie’s Bridge

Back from Dominican Republic
hello! yes I was away for a week to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for a vacation/attend/shoot claudia + wilson’s wedding :) I had never been to a resort though I have done much traveling. There are definite pros and cons to going to a resort ;P one pro is that you eat pretty much whenever [...]

Looking back and shooting with Claudia
So this year has been pretty awesome for so many reasons! :) First of all I got laid off early in the year, real estate took a big hit, which forced me to jump into wedding photography full-time…something I wanted to do stayed because I thought it a blessing to have a good job during [...]

my cousin and aspiring author
My cousin got into UofT for english lit today and she was pretty happy. It made me think of the time when I was going through the same thing. The anticipation and waiting seemed to be enough to kill me…will i get in? will i not? Education is something i’ve become very skeptical about as [...]
Susans Bday
Sunday night I was out for my friend susans bday…we went to a bar in little italy where there was some live music playing. It wasn’t an ordinary bday because most bdays the guest gives the special bday girl or boy a gift. Susan had burnt thank you cds for people who came that night [...]
