I’ve been ridiculously busy this week preparing for a small exhibition of my photos taking place this weekend. See, I love traveling, I love taking photos, and I don’t mind the hours of Photoshop spent tweaking each one that makes the ‘cut’. What I don’t enjoy doing is promoting my work. I suck at that. With the help of Novita, Treespotter, Avi, Ian, and a few others, I’ve been getting my butt in gear to finally start making something ofRead more

Chimera: Tea Plantations Exposed in the Foreground

And here’s the true story of the W.T.C. guy in case you’re curious and equally are avoiding your workload. Gunung Gede pics will have to take a backseat to all of my other work for the time being. Sabar sayang! 😉Read more
