Well hello! I'm back, peepos!

Embrace life thru a stunning spectacle of vibrance and sophistication & thru monumental stillness- that’s what I strive to deliver thru photography. No more pressure to post daily, I will post whenever time permits this time round. I will need all your kind support to make every post here worthy. One of my new year resolution is to develop a new artistic definition and direction to my craft.

I will try my best to include some inputs and poetic accompaniments the photos. I also like to associate my works with music so you will see alot of those.I apologize beforehand should there be shortcomings in my expressions and way of thought. Hope you enjoy the world thru my eyes. For the photographs you are about to witness, they are captured using either Canon EOS 450D or Canon Powershot S5 IS.

01. Discover Me


I was alone this time coming. I was alone the previous autumn, and some. I was never asked, neither was I told. Silence befriends this solitude. I’m a man destitute – of touch and spoken word. I’m a lone ranger in the Sahara like a lone Eskimo in the Artic. Behind this ice cold glaze, they never got to uncover. A veil of broken spirit was the nadir of my social. But yet, all I need was for them to pull it back for me. To untie the dead knot across my guts, or at least try. For them to discover – discover me. I never got to feel their warmth, but the chill of their fingers lingers. Free me, because I can’t afford to tame my demons. An inviting smile crafted out of reluctance, a mirage of acceptance. I held out my hands like a child yearning, am still waiting.

02. Monalisa Smiles


Forging ties beyond borders. A string of sentence vaguely familiar. A sweet candour embalmed in spirits.

03. 1935

The life in your years.
Lost in translation. Intimate with history.
Intermittent reality.

04. the fragile tragedy you were



When you've always been
the fragile tragedy
i make no apology to fix this mess you made.
what hurts the most,
isn't the words that you said
but the silence that stayed.
 

cool!
