we love walks.

Indonesia, Bintan (2009)

Vision & Inspiration: Watching children and their parents spend time together never fails to make my day.

i love the lens.

Vietnam, Hanoi (2008)

Vision & Inspiration: This little boy came up to me and was simply intrigued by the camera. He stood really close and followed wherever my lens pointed. Such a darling one, ain’t he?

Cambodia, Phnom Penh (2008)

Vision & Inspiration: During my stay at the orphanage, I made friends with a boy on the other side of the fence. He was always on a bicycle and he enjoyed watching the orphans play. Everyday, I will wait at the same spot, same time just to wave and say hello. Sometimes he would turn up, and sometimes he don’t.

Vision & Inspiration: In the midst of all the chaos, thank you for bringing me out to the beach that day. A quiet noon and a good brunch was what I needed.

beautiful soul.

Boston, Wheelock College (2009)

Vision & Inspiration: We have known each other for 5 years now. But we only became the best of friends last year. I thank God for this beautiful friendship and it is amazing how comfortable we are with each other. I have learned so much from you and the times we spent together in Boston will always stay with me.

China, Yunan (2008)

Vision & Inspiration: Taking a break from all the bricks-carrying, I wandered off to explore the rest of the village. I met this little boy who was having lots of fun just by twirling a rope in his tiny hand. At that moment, rope-twirling definitely seemed more promising than bricks-carrying.

jello.

Thailand, Phitsanulok (2009)

Vision & Inspiration: Was simply intrigued by how gel-like the water seemed.

never too young to learn.

Boston, Maverick (2009)

Vision & Inspiration: Just before I stepped into the classroom, I was greeted with a poster that says, “When you enter this little room, consider yourself as one of the special members of a group who enjoys working and learning”. What a great poster. Don’t you think?

Thailand, Phitsanulok (2009)

Vision & Inspiration: Love old-school train tracks; especially the ones that run down the middle of a street.

somewhere down the road.

Cambodia, Phnom Penh (2008)

Vision & Inspiration: This has to be my all-time favorite shot. I went on a stroll outside the orphanage one noon. After 10 minutes or so, I sensed that I was being followed. I turned and saw these beautiful children. As I walked, they walked. And when I stopped, they followed suit. At the end of the day, we walked down the road together with no exchange of words; just plenty of smiles and giggles. And that to me made the experience all the more beautiful and memorable.
