"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" ...Hunter S. Thompson

about
Jack of several trades and all the happier for it. That is pretty much how i describe myself, for i struggle to find a subject i am uninterested in or an experience i ever truly regret. Way i see it, the good ones are worth it themselves and the bad ones eventually make for a great story.
After graduation, i soon discovered a passion for Travel & Photography. But rather than capturing images of places or people, i often found myself looking to capture moments & emotions that would best represent my experiences in those places and with those people. As the years passed and i continued to share travel photos with friends & family on social networking sites like Facebook, their comments and compliments made me realize that i may be doing something right in capturing & conveying those feelings that i sought. Although these photos were initially meant to be for me to remember those moments myself, sharing these with an even wider demographic could only be a good thing.
And so was borne the idea for this website. Apart from serving as a portfolio, It gives me a medium to share not only my photos but also other mediums of expression that i sometimes use for similar purposes. Mediums such as poem, that can often have an enabling effect on expression when simple words prove ineffective. Put it all together and this website is an outlet for the observer in me.
Who knows where all this may lead? But i'd like to find out. Did i already say i like experiences? :)
