2020 in photos

Four hundred and seventy two photos. Surprised even myself going through my Lightroom catalog. For a year that was spent mostly indoors, I’m a little bit impressed with myself. (And that number’s going to go up with some last-week-of-the-year images.) The collective universe categorised 2020 […]

My obsession with the saguaro

They’re everywhere. I’m not exaggerating. Maybe just a little bit. It’s hard not to point out every single saguaro cactus you see, if you’ve never been to Arizona and you visit for the first time. Though, over a year living here, and I’m still obsessed. […]

A shadowy stay-at-home story (part 2)

This isn’t as sinister as the title may suggest. The stifling of creativity I mentioned before took me down some “dark” paths. I kept hunting for moments in time, shadows, light, and texture—those things that I miss on my day-to-day of just being at home. […]

A stay-at-home story (part 1)

For the last six months, my world has been the world enclosed in the walls that I live in. Like almost everyone in the world. It’s my gym, my cinema, my bar, and my occasional restaurant. I would have added “it’s my office,” but my […]

Bourbon Street

Photo 9/52 | Bourbon Street

Probably not how I’ll remember the few days I spent in New Orleans, but one of the more memorable images of that trip. Spent a day wandering around the city, pointedly avoiding Bourbon Street. But curiosity got the better of me. Suffice to say, a […]

Ancient, old, and new

February 2019 | Beirut, Lebanon

Ancient, old, and new all in one single view. Beirut’s skyline is like no other city I’ve visited. You do yourself a disservice if you don’t spend the entire time looking up. (Though that may also mean you step in one or two dog turds!) […]

Beirut Facades

Photo 8/52 | Beirut Facades

Beirut has such a familiar vibe to it. There’s so much of the city that feels European. And some of it reminds me of Bahrain. It’s a beautiful cross-over of the Middle East and Europe. Taken from the corniche looking inward towards the city, this […]

Alcatraz

November 2018 | Alcatraz, USA

There’s no other place quite like Alcatraz. To listen to the stories of what wasn’t really all that long ago. It’s when I realised the stories weren’t all that long ago that I really grasped the reality of where I was. On the boat, sailing […]
