What do you do to get inspirations?

I intentionally “erase” the ideas and thoughts that’s in my mind. Direct my attention to read up on artist like Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Alexy Brodovitch and so on… Through my reading and the videos that I’ve watched through Youtube, It’s rewarding to understand what their thoughts and feelings are.

Well I definitely must say we live in such modern times where every ounce of knowledge is nigh thee – at our fingertips. Technology has certainly bridged many gaps, including feeling what others who live on the other end of the world or even those who have gone on before us felt!!

Being a Jesus’ boy, I always believe that each one of us, we’re different and unique. I can’t be able to do what you do and vice versa. I decided to stay true to my heart, take the first step; jointly created Lifeisbeautiful with Mabel, Chirpy Smurf. It is still in the making but I just thought that I’d share this haha!! and not photographs all the time.

P.S my upcoming project starts from home. Perhaps I should name it Home..

Till then… L’Chayim

THe reason i took kinda long to construct this post, I wanted to be inspired to head on to the direction which I’ve been chucking aside. I will not be revealing the course of direction lest i be constricted by it but… here’s some photos which was really backkkk-dated haha~~

And of course Mabes & I, we’re constructing this new webby

Mabes & I certainly had some curtain fun… We decided to try out something new, apart from the plain studio shots, we decided to have some fun by getting some curtain into the picture

I miss that day – 1st April 2010

theportist — Sun, 15 May 2011 18:28:36 +0000

I was definitely dreaming after a bowl of Udon which was a stop-gap-measure for my sudden surge of hunger till breaky. Dreaming… Dreaming of that evening picnic about a year ago with my babe!! M and so i ransack through my drive to uncover some of these photographs we took along our way to our destined picnic ground and of cos i miss my long hair and my bush hee~~

Sometimes a point and shoot does the trick!! Most of the photos were by Mabes

are you dreaming a wedding

I was catchin’ up with J recently and his lady showed him a wedding photographed by Josh Goleman. In my opinion, I have never seen such simplicity and knotted feelings photographed. The ones i’ve came across were all so commercialised, missing the art of photography and the passion of the photographer!!

I was sorting out my hard disk and I remembered a really awesome town I visited sometime ago. Ladies & Gentlemen, HoiAn.. Some awesome memories we had there, went fishing and caught no fish, hear Mr Trung (Donald Trump), the name kinda rhymes, tell us stories of the hardworking young fishermen who go out early to catch fish to produce the wholesome Vietnam Fish Sauce!! drink coffee and the lovely breaky too

WOnder If Mr Trung’s House is built heehee~~

I Remember

Today… I remembered many events in my life but one stood out.

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:36

I remember the first trip which He inspired me, and He still does

The awesome land of Israel, recalling the memories where the Lord brought me to His land..
