I’m not really a nature person by nature (ha), I like staying in more than being outdoors. But once in awhile I force myself to go out. Now that winter is officially here (snow storm and -15 degree—check!), I find myself missing the awesome fall weather and colours. After watching the amazing Orange is the
Claudia
Since working with Claudia on the INDePth Conference last year, I have had the pleasure of getting to know her “sarcastic, short and sock-less” self (Her words, not mine! I insist that she’s tiny, not short… but the sake of alliteration, I guess.) Recently, she started to blog about her experience and struggle with eczema,
Photoshoot with Andrea Pun
In the summer of 2012, I spent two months in Hong Kong and one of the best things was the chance to create something with friends. Other than getting headshots done by Andrea, I helped her with a shoot featuring our friend Justina. I’m more interested in documentary, which works out amazingly because I love
Meeting Jonathan Mak
I’m trying to do regular blog updates and consider what a gigantic backlog of photos and stories I have, I’m having this weekly feature called #WayBackWhensday… on Wednesdays in which I’ll post photos and things that happened sometime ago. So enjoy, and expect to see things from bajillion years ago because I’m a terribly lazy
INDePth Conference
Despite what most people think, I actually don’t go to school for photography. I’m currently in my last year at University of Toronto majoring in Books & Media Studies (with minors in Cinema Studies & Political Science, if you are wondering) So what’s Books & Media Studies? Book history, communication theory, Marshall McLuhan, that kinda
Day trip to New York City!
I took a quick trip to New York City last Friday with my friends Arthur and Allan. Get this — we were only there for the day. I have been planning this trip in my head since the brilliant and talented Alice X. Zhang announced her solo show in January… probably? I love her art
Toronto
I love Toronto. I have been living here for almost 7 years now, but I think the love affair started when I was in high school and started going to shows. Going to a venue for the first time requires preparation, trekking there via the unfamiliar subway, and hoping that I don’t get lost and
Anberlin @ The Opera House
Because of school and other obligations, I haven’t been able to shoot concerts for sometime now. So obviously I had to hit one up as soon as my exams are over! There was this one night when Anberlin’s A Day Late was randomly stuck in my head — I’m not a big Anberlin fan —
Analogue Gallery: Sound Image 2013
Last Tuesday was the opening reception for Analogue Gallery Sound Image 2013 contest & exhibition. There were so many people and it was great to finally meet some Toronto photographers who I have been stalking whose work I have been following and seen around on the Interwebz (Jess Baumung! Vanessa Heins! Courtney Lee Yip!) The
A Day to Remember’s Gamechangers Tour 2011
Truth be told, I’m a huge procrastinator — definitely not a good trait and I’m still working on it every day. Sometimes when it comes to creative work you really need to set a deadline for yourself and stick to it, or it will just end up in the back of the hard drive somewhere
Walk With Me
“Walk with me” is a phrase I imagine using, you know, as if I have something important to say to another person that couldn’t wait so we have to do the “walk and talk” thing like they do on Suits. Anyway, the urgency this title inspires has nothing to do with the post except I
I like to talk about me but I don’t like to talk about me
You know how here are people who could just say, “I’m bored, leave me asks!” and then their Formspring/Tumblr ask boxes would be filled with questions within minutes? That’s never me. But that’s because I don’t like to ask for attention outright like that, but always thinking to myself “Ask me ask me I know
This is The Voice
I have been a pretty big fan of NBC’s reality singing competition The Voice since the first season, but because of school work and other things I haven’t been able to keep up with the show as much as I’d like. The best part about watching the show is seeing artists that I had seen
Photo… of me!
I was lucky that my time in Hong Kong coincided with my good friend Andrea Pun‘s homecoming (she moved back to Hong Kong from L.A). If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, her name would probably be familiar ’cause I post about her awesome work from time to time! And if you don’t then
Reel Asian’s TIFF Reception 2012 @ Dazzling
Last Tuesday, the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival (where I’m interning) threw a TIFF (that’s Toronto International Film Festival) Reception for filmmakers and industry people at Dazzling. Annnnd I took some photos for the event. Here are some of my favourite ones, you can see more here.
