An educator by profession, a hobbyist photographer by passion, exiled in Asia by design. I photograph friends and random strangers in their urban surrounds. I follow back. Cheers.
A truck driver shows off his rings in Jakarta, Indonesia. Rings are a status symbol amongst working-class men here, often made from silver with a large coloured stone, highly polished, and keenly bought and traded at roadside stalls. #Streetportrait #workingmen #Streetphotography #Jakarta #Indonesia

Went back home recently to Bayside, Melbourne, Australia, to visit family. No better place to think about life than gazing at the waves, warmed by the summer sun. #Photography #Portrait #Summer #Beach #Frankston #Victoria #Australia

Mandalay railway station, before the coup. I discovered this man in his deep blue longyi and gorgeous purple scarf enjoying a smoke while patiently awaiting his morning train. He was happy to pose for a photo. #photography #streetportrait #Myanmar #Mandalay #travel

Just over a year since our furbaby passed. She had a heart defect, but I always felt I should have done more to help her. Of course, it didn't help that she constantly spat out her pills and hated the vet with a ferocity unknown to mankind :P

Burmese woman (just before the coup). Story of the image: In Bago, walking back from the train station, I saw this woman in her shophouse's parlour. I pointed to my camera and implored her for a photo. I took 1 image. With a wei, I bid her farewell. #photography #portrait #serendipity #Bago #Myanmar

There are a few ways to take environmental portraits: run and gun style, a set up with a local fixer, or just show up and socialise. The latter, while difficult, is ultimately the most rewarding. #photography #travel #environmental_portraits #workers #SriLanka

A young, tough guy smoking in a cafe in Taipei's slightly sleazy Wanhua neighbourhood. He can't be too tough if he was willing to pose for a photo, right? #photography #streetportraits #Taipei #Taiwan
