Craftsmanship isn’t something that just happens. It requires a great deal of time, patience, and effort. Becoming a real artisan requires that you commit yourself to the continuous development of your craft.
It is a quality that comes from creating with passion, care, and attention to detail.

That which is beautiful is increasingly difficult to come by in a world where things are made to be disposable at the expense of time.

Pursuit of a craftsman’s mindset requires that you understand the beauty is in the pursuit of growth, not necessarily seeking perfection.

The images created are merely the tokens of an artisanal journey, each a mile marker resonating with my own style and beliefs in a long and fulfilling road. As long as that one person appreciates that moment in time captured in everlasting memory is more satisfying than garnering likes in the digital world.

Besides, if you ever create something perfectly, what would be the point of ever doing it again?

Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to be with one another. ~ langleav

We hardly spoke to each other during 2 months of daily intensive German language class. However a chance conversation (we were both enamoured with Wong Kar Wai's works) turned into a spontaneous backpacking trip through Eastern Europe. Used to being a solo traveller, it was a soul enriching experience to find a fellow kindred spirit in travel habits as we made our way through Dresden-Berlin-Prague-Budapest-Salzburg-Hallstatt-Vienna. Instead of rushing through tourist spots, we filled our days simply taking our time to shoot whenever there is light and shadows (WKW style), exploring art museums, local flea markets to find vintage cameras, daydreaming about new ideas in cafes and parks. She opened my eyes to Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele and many more European artists who influence my sense till today. Despite having to travel light with backpacks, we lugged back a total of 11 vintage cameras between us as we combed through the local camera stores and flea markets in each cities.

If I were to pin point when exactly was a turning point for me, meeting and our countless conversations/ experimental photo shoots anywhere/ sharing our dreams that one day we could pursue a career in photography- and her faith in me & encouragement definitely kickstarted my career as she was the first client who hired me for her PWS in Paris.

Caught up with her again recently coz of this project and so happy for her too that she is finally pursuing her love as a photojournalist too. Hope our smouldering passion in this photographic journey will be lasting as the memories we created.

#不忘初心方得始終

Most of the times, being open (and thus vulnerable) is a struggle, especially when the possibilities are just frames in one’s mind. Making that effort can bring extra hassle and distress, but it also makes one’s life richer.

Would you rather regret the things you did than the things you never got a chance (or the courage) to do by staying where you are and feel trapped there
5 yrs ago, I took the leap of faith to get out of my comfort zone in order to break away from my fear. Stumbled and fell so many times and picked myself up over and over again. What I’ve learnt in this journey was that - Over and over you will develop this mental strength where fear doesn’t exist anymore because you have gotten used to fighting against your fears.

Don’t be afraid to allow yourself to start anew and fully surrendering to all expectations that you and others have ever had of yourself.

You might realize down the road that you are who you are and in order to discover that, you have to go back to the root of your soul, to your innate talents and passion without being held back by dogma, societal norms, your own fears, and external opinions - look within to find who you truly are as a person at the core of your soul.

Life has a way of leading you to where you’re supposed to go when you listen to it. One event always leads to another. Although some may seem like disappointments, sadness, and rejections at the time, time will prove to you that whatever happened was meant to happen. Time will give you the reason as to why things changed when you look back someday and connect the dots.

#不忘初心方得始終。
人生只有一次，生命無法重來，要記得自己的初心。
經常純凈自己的內心，給自己一雙澄澈的眼睛。不忘初心，才會找對人生的方向，才會堅定我們的追求，抵達自己的初衷。

How beautiful is it that we live in a world where nothing lasts forever. We must learn to fall in love with the love inside us, only then every moment living will be worth dying for.

During the lockdown, unpacked a whole treasure box of old films and travel album of Polaroids which took me back in time to the beginning of my photography journey, before there was social media, where I was collecting vintage film cameras and enjoyed experimenting and making images. They reminded me of who I am shooting for- myself.

From the beginning, photography was a way of expressing myself, my inner thoughts-my view of how I saw the world and to document the places I visited and what I have seen. As an introvert, I found that through making and sharing the images, I was able to connect with many other kindred souls around the world. Along the way, I struggled to keep a balance between passion and making images for a living and almost had the fire die out. The period of solitude earlier this year really helped me to refocus on my priorities and by going back to the roots of why I started picked up the camera in the first place, inspired me to re-emerge with a refreshed mindset.

After a previous post of the images, I was surprised and honoured to be invited to share a humble collection of my travel Polaroids- little windows between my inner world and travel destinations -this weekend (Nov 13-15) organised by .sg and . Grab your free entry tickets via link in bio.

Quality begins from the inside then works its way out.

Of all the 10,000 digital photos taken during the travelling days, the most precious memories were captured within these little square Polaroids, then mailed back home. Every image of “the most feels” of each destination, painstakingly captured with a SX-70 that travelled more places than any of my other digital cameras, survived the journey, without getting lost between countries, actually made it all the way by air to my home each time.

Whilst these days travel has been limited, yet I find myself being able to “travel” unbounded in unlimited imagination within the inner world when reflecting in these precious memories.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. – Carl Sagan

Which is your favourite destination that you can imagine yourself in today?

I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can’t change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.
A big hug and gratitude to all of you who have reached out in the past months, either to send a yummy dessert to remind this introverted hermit your warmth or to reach out to pass on a job opportunity amidst all the economic repercussions from the curveball the virus has brought to everyone’s lives. Am also feeling fulfilled that the last month was well spent to use my design expertise and photography skills to pay it forward and help others solve their needs.

Kindness can transform someone’s dark moment with a blaze of light. You’ll never know how much difference you made matters.

Kudos to for collaborating in this first series of conceptual project.

To build resilience into our lives, we shouldn’t fear adversity. Because each setback is an opportunity for growth.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life ... to strengthen each other ... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
