Today was supposed to be a great day. My flight was booked, my bags were packed and the warm weather of home was just a few hours away. But, as is often the case, today wouldn’t end up going the way I had imagined. Instead of fussing about airport security and making sure my devices… Read More
Sit Long. Talk Much. Laugh Often
As I listened to the tunes of Chris Chambers filling the air, my gaze was drawn to a wooden sign proudly displayed above the bar, boldly declaring the words: “Sit Long. Talk Much. Laugh Often.” “Sit Long?” Don’t mind if I do, I thought. I’m the type who can happily sit and soak in the… Read More
Fresh Snow, Fresh Phone!
Winter is supposedly mild this year, or so the locals say. I’m still just a newcomer, nodding along, thinking that any sign of ice falling from the sky deserves a collective day off. But nope, life goes on as usual in this peculiar place, where a snow storm is no different from a thunder storm… Read More
Going Places: Street Photography on Public Transport
I get overwhelmed when I’m not creating. It’s a weird anxious feeling that I struggle to shake and it only seems to go away when I do something creative. And it manifests in weird ways. Sometimes, if I can’t think of something creative to do, (or if I just don’t wanna) I’d fire up Lightroom… Read More
Street Scenes: Locke Street, Hamilton, ON
Every now and then (though not nearly often enough), I’d grab my camera and head out on a photo stroll. Nothing fancy, just the classic “clear-my-head-and-pretend-the-world-isn’t-a-dumpster-fire” routine. I guess it’s my feeble attempt to remind myself that there’s an entire existence beyond the glow of my screens. And while the business of living seems to… Read More
From Radio Days to Concert Nights
This one’s gonna be a little close to the heart. You see, growing up, my childhood was marked by the conspicuous absence of a TV. No, it’s not because my family was ahead of the minimalist trend. The reason was a lot simpler – we just didn’t have the luxury of electricity. And no lights… Read More
Cycling in Hamilton: My First Group Ride with Pedals & Pints
Beautiful people of the internet, I’m super excited to pen this post and share some photographs that I made last weekend when I was able to combine 2 of my great loves: Photography & Cycling!

Just Touching Base
Hey peeps, wa going on? I know it’s been a while since I posted anything here. Life has this knack for knocking us off track, eh? I’ve been pretty swamped but I just wanted to hop on here to touch base. So here’s me face posing with my gorgeous wife. In the months since I’ve… Read More
Show Your Work
If you’re an artist, a writer, or any kind of creative person, you’ve probably know the importance of getting your work out there. But its not always that easy – especially if you struggle with self-promotion like I do. That’s where “Show Your Work!” by Austin Kleon comes in. One of my all time favourite… Read More
My Love-Hate relationship with Street Photography
Hey peeps, wa goin’ on? I’ve recently been stepping outside my comfort zone and doing a lot more street photography. You see, I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with street photography. On the one hand, it’s a thrilling adventure that allows for the capture of everyday moments in a creative and powerful way. On the other hand,… Read More
