Do they make me a better photographer? Not really.
But did they give me joy? Oh Yes!!!
I shoot in both digital and film.

I cannot function without computer, and sometimes, coffee.
One thing I keep buying is books, but never finish reading them. One day …
What do I love doing other than photography? Traveling, printing and memory keeping.
Currently on my bucket list are living with the nomads in Mongolia, Pope Francis’ personal photographer for a month and Around the World with my small pocket camera, a notebook and pen.

I had my first solo photography exhibition in Manila, The Philippines, 17 June – 17 July 2008.

My family, my motivation…

My wife, the reason why I bought my first camera when she, then my girlfriend, came to visit me in Singapore, so I could document our first vacation together.

My daughter, to whom I dedicate all these, and who gives me the opportunity to love more and to learn to be a better person each day.

Our Chief Happiness Woofficer, who is always excited and happy to see us and from whom I learned that if you are persistent, patient and keep looking without blinking, you will get what you want.
