This week has been rough, and in all the ups and downs, I really had a strange time. At the same time things seem to start falling into place, they also seem to fall very far from place. As such, I had a couple of photo shoots of myself, one of them was of me […]

Today I complete 13 weeks of my Self-Portrait project. Thirteen weeks is the 1/4 mark. The premise of the project “documenting all the changes that happen to me” are true in its core. In the last 13 weeks, we have seen me go through significant change. If you compare Week 1 and Week 13, it […]

I have been away from my computer because of the issues that have been popping up in my life. Because I have not had the chance (until today) to access my computer, it was difficult to get edit the photos for the Self-Portrait project and post them here. I am not in a good place […]

I am trying to sort out the turbulences in my life. The turbulences are really affecting my ability to smile for the camera. From Week 1 of the Self-Portrait project, you can see my trajectory; there have been weeks where I couldn’t even look at the camera, others I have a half cheeky smile, but […]

I know I haven’t been posting in here very often. Actually, not often at all compared to what I used to do. The reason for this is a two-fold: Lockdown Personal Let’s start with lockdown.

Due to current lockdown restrictions in Melbourne, the trip to the Great Ocean Road will not happen yet. This does not mean it won’t go ahead, it just means that it won’t go ahead tomorrow.

So much that I wanted to be doing. Last weekend I could have gone out and taken photos around Melbourne, or even in close cities. Unfortunately Victoria is in lockdown because people who came from Sydney did not follow the advice/restrictions from that state nor from Victorian government. We’ve been in lockdown 8 days and […]

Since acquiring my travel tripod, I have noticed the increase in tripod related photographic activity. I believe it is related to how easy to transport the tripod is. Because of its size and weight, it is easy to store in an accessible location, making it easy to just grab and take it. The other reason […]

I have mentioned in previous posts, Winter in Melbourne/Victoria is not a good time to photograph. Not only is there a constant threat of rain (even when it’s not forecast to), but it is also slightly chilly. The cold makes me lazy and tired, especially now that I’m not currently working out. As a result, […]

We are less than a month away from the trip and COVID-19 related state wide lockdown is in place. Don’t know if it will affect the trip, seeing as we have at least 3 weeks until the trip. However, in this uncertain environment, we never know. Reviewing what I have researched so far, I think […]
