România, îți dau inima mea
Romania, I Give You My Heart
April 16, 2019
România, îți dau inima mea is a zine, printed with photographs from Bucharest, Constanța, and Mamaia throughout August 2018. I used Petnax Espio 738G on Kodak Gold 200, Fujifilm Superia 400, and Lomography Lady Grey 400 to create these images. In total there are forty photographs, thirty-two of which are in colour and eight in black-and-white.

INobody will do anything. Not even me, sitting behind my desk, or comfortably lying on a chair in the living room. To move myself, you told me, at night, with my eyes open or closed eyes. It doesn’t matter because you can’t see anything. How lucky are you for remembering!

A Millenial’s Nostalgia
March 19, 2019
I am one of those people who was born during the holiday season period. A week right before Christmas, to be more precise. This comes with two perks: getting all your gifts at the same time… and getting all your gifts at the same time. Please don’t get me wrong: my story is not about materialism.

An Indefinite project Documenting Lives of Cornwall
February 26, 2019
Cornwall is the most southerly county in the UK, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. For those of us who live and work here, it’s a very special place, and for those who visit, they long to live where we do. The county and the surrounding area is very rural.

Neon Lights With CineStill 800T Film
Capturing Interesting Colors and Glowing Halos With a Yashica T5
February 21, 2019
One of the most interesting 35mm film stocks that I have been shooting with lately is CineStill 800T. I’ve taken pictures of city streets, store windows and hotel lobbies at night with this film, and the end results are enchanting and almost dreamlike.

Family Portraits To Live With
Why Do We Need Museums When We Have our iPads and Laptops?
February 6, 2019
The photograph above is a portrait of my dad, sitting at the breakfast table in a small cafe. I took it when I went to Pennsylvania for a visit. This is him sharing time with me. It’s printed and framed on my desk and I get to see him every day when I’m at work.

Cambodia
With La Sardinia, a Bag of Candy, and a Handful Of Weed
February 5, 2019
WFor five years, until mid-2018 I either travelled or lived in Asia. With an exception of a nine-month startup experiment in San Francisco, I’ve spent all of that time with my girlfriend (now, wife) Betty. Backpacking. After selling and tossing five cubic feet of things we didn’t really need from our former Toronto apartment, Betty and I moved to China.

Time Alone
I Saw People, Being Alone; I Photographed Them.
February 2, 2019
We as photographers walk around looking to shoot landscapes, portraits, street photography, or just anything that catches our eye. I saw people, being alone; I photographed them. Alone because they want to be. Alone because they had no choice. Or maybe alone just for that moment to reflect and think.

Hommage À Ma Mère
January 22, 2019
Entro, I enter,bajo sospecha, under suspicion,en la carretera sinuosa, on the sinuous road,de la vena roja of the red veinde mi ojo izquierdo. of my left eye. A toda velocidad quiero, At full speed I want,que la última esquina the last cornerde la vena roja of the red veinesté rota to be broken en una curva ascendente in an upward curve que mire al cielo.

Kubla Khan
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
January 17, 2019
In Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred river, ranThrough caverns measureless to manDown to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile groundWith walls and towers were girdled round:Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;And here were forests ancient as the hills,Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

Written at the Close of Spring
Charlotte Smith
January 15, 2019
The garlands fade that Spring so lately wove,Each simple flower, which she had nursed in dew,Anemonies, that spangled every grove,The primrose wan, and hare-bell mildly blue. No more shall violets linger in the dell,Or purple orchis variegate the plain,Till Spring again shall call forth every bell,And dress with humid hands her wreathes again.

A Poison Tree
William Blake
January 10, 2019
I was angry with my friend:I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe:I told it not, my wrath did grow. ≁And I waterd it in fears,Night & morning with my tears;And I sunned it with smiles,And with soft deceitful wiles. ≁And it grew both day and night,Till it bore an apple bright.

A Walk Through the City
January 8, 2019
On a lonely Sunday midday I took a walk through my city, Port of Spain. It’s usually fully populated on any other day in the week but Sundays seem to all the quitest days so I took advantage of it. Started off at the zoo but ended up at the financial sector of the city where the building are the biggest and I feel in love with modern architecture again.

My Home, Nepal
December 31, 2018
Growing up I never felt a sentimental attachment to home. For me, all that tied me to Nepal was my family. As a child, I constantly moved around, so a sense of rootedness was never instilled. As I got older, I came to appreciate the beauty of my homeland; the Himalayas, the rich cultural heritage, and, above all else, the warmth of Nepali people.
