So the day after visiting the Van Gogh Exhibition, I ventured out to a different area of Beijing. I only had a little time, so I didn't take many photos, but I still wanted to share a few I liked from the day. The preset I used for

At the end of my post about the Tadao Ando exhibition, I mentioned that soon I would be visiting the Van Gogh Alive exhibition. I did end up going, and though it wasn’t really what I was expecting, it was still interesting. But for me, even more interesting was

Last weekend I paid a quick visit to the Beijing World Art Museum to check out “The Light of Ancient Roman Civilization” exhibition. This was my first time going to this museum, I wasn’t even aware of it. This museum is in the west area of Beijing, whereas I

One week after my first shots with my new camera, on this day I decided to use my 40-150mm f2.8 lens. It’s probably the lens I have used the least, so I wanted to give it some love. Due to the lack of travel, I have only been

So, I just moved to Yangshuo, China! It will probably only be a temporary move for a couple of months or so, but I’m excited to be here. I’ve lived and worked in Beijing since January 2018, but my work contract recently ended. Before I started looking for

I read Matt Birchler’s recent post about Glass, and it got me thinking about my own usage, or lack thereof. Like Matt, I was also initially really excited about Glass when I first heard about it. I stopped using my Instagram many months ago, but still wanted somewhere to
I can’t believe it’s already been one month since I got back to Beijing! My three months in Yangshuo are done, and after a short stopover in Nanjing, I’m living in Beijing again. I’m so glad to be back, I really enjoyed my time in Yangshuo
I took this photo in May 2020, in Yangshuo, China, inside Treasure Cave. I used my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II [https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/e-m5-mark-ii.html] and the 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens [https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/m-zuiko-ed-7-14mm-f2-8-pro.html]. Settings were f/5.6,

Yes, I know it’s almost May, kind of late to be making 2020 photography goals, isn’t it? Well, this year is a bit different than most so I’m just going to go with it. With all the free time I’ve had recently, I started to think
Last April I had four days off for the Qingming Festival, so I decided to pay a visit to Xi’an. It was high up on my list of cities I wanted to visit in China, so I was excited to be finally going. Xi’an is now the capital
The song “Open Season”, from late 2014, is from Josef Salvat's “In Your Prime” EP. He is an Australian singer, and was originally known for his version of Rihanna’s song “Diamonds”. This was my first song obsession of 2015, I had it on repeat for much of
When you think of China, Hohhot is probably not a city that pops into your mind. But don’t overlook it if you’re going to spend any length of time in China. I spent a few days in Hohhot back in the spring of 2018 and wanted to share
I took this photo in May of 2012, during that year’s Doors Open Toronto event. It’s from an artist studio located in the city’s Distillery District. The Distillery District is one of my favourite areas in Toronto, I definitely recommend you check it out if you’re
Breezin’ is an instrumental song, released in 1976 from George Benson’s album of the same name. George is an American jazz musician who has won multiple Grammy Awards. He has been making music professionally since the 1960s. For years, and I mean many, many years, I had this song
