Wow it’s been a while since I posted. Honestly life just caught up with me, last few years have been quite a ride, I got engaged, bought a house, got promoted, became disgruntled, switched jobs, etc. I’m sure I’ll get to the details eventually, and I’ll try to catch up with what I can. So, […]

Streets of Vancouver: Episode 1
Hey guys yea I’m not dead. I’ve been so busy in the last few months I really just didn’t have time to go out and take many photos. But now that things have slowed down a little bit, I’m planning to renew my focus on photography. Sorry, I know you guys were waiting for […]
Film Series: Canonet QL 19, September 2017, Kodak Portra 400
Second roll of film I shot with the camera, as soon as I knew the camera worked, is the Portra 400. I first shot an expired 120 roll of these back in 2013 when I was on co-op at QNX, and had a chance to play with a Mamiya 645. Despite screwing up and ruining […]
Review Series: iPhone 8 Plus
Title photo is inspired by Kelsey McClellan. Before you flame me on my choice of phone, OS and/or calling a smartphone camera as a camera. Let me explain. My Xiaomi Mi 6 was great, the portrait mode was adequate, and the phone itself ran fine. But once I started working, some issues became obvious: – […]
Film Series: Canonet QL 19, August 2017, Fujifilm C200
I’ve been feeling uninspired lately. I’m not sure if it’s the new work, or the more consistent schedule, or that I’m always tired. I just haven’t been taking that many photos lately, nor did I have the desire to. I was kinda burnt out, maybe? But the streets of Vancouver makes such interesting scenes everyday, […]
Back Home. [Xi’an Day 3]
Play this. Or this. How do you express the feeling when you haven’t been home for 5 years, and then you return? It’s kinda hard to describe, but I found myself smiling more every meter I moved towards my home. I was born and raised until 11 years old in Xi’an, China. This is […]
Trip to Hutongs and Houhai (胡同与后海) [Beijing Day 8]
Ok, so 2 things. I know this was a huge gap from day 2.. I got some minor food poisoning and did nothing worth noting for a few days. Mainly being a potato. Also I’m now posting this about 2 months late. I’ve just been too caught up between moving across the country and playing […]
Forbidden City Trip [Beijing Day 2]
Continuing the day 2 trip, we arrived at Tian An Men (天安门) after biking from Xi Dan (西单). This was the place where the protests once took place, unfortunately the roads were on locked down, and only pedestrians and bikers were allowed, some kind of summit apparently. I didn’t really get any photos either, because […]
Restaurant Series: Missi Missi (美食, 美食) Beijing [Beijing Day 1]
After Roger dropped me off, I had a chance to meet up with Tenny, whom I haven’t seen for almost a year now. Tenny is my 死党, which unfortunately doesn’t translate into English very well, whereas the closest meaning would be the phrase “brother in arms”. Oh vell. Tenny had this unagi don place in […]
Day Out with Roger [Beijing Day 1]
My first day out in Beijing, for real this time. Last time I was here was at least 5 years ago, and I never really got to go around and do all the things I wanted the way I wanted it. This time it’s different, I got my good friend Roger with me, and we […]
