The Power of Transitions
The art of linguistic creativity relies heavily on tools of communication; words, punctuation, articulation, metaphor and nuance. more
The Importance of Self-Critique
Learning to self-critique requires confidence in one’s own work as well as self-knowledge. We must be confident enough in our abilities and vision to not fear failure. more
Into the White Sands
The place kept beckoning me to travel farther and farther into the dunes and the process was very metaphysical in a way. more
The Difference
People who see a photograph and later visit the place where the photograph was made, expecting to see this place as it appears in the photograph, and instead finding it different, may feel “cheated". more
A Visual and Tactile Adventure
During this year I have participated in a project called ‘Territoire-s’, which was an artistic exchange of ideas between artists from two countries. more

Landscape and Abstraction
My assertion, “landscape lacks a ‘subject’” must be debatable; perhaps that is why the lone tree remains a hardy perennial for landscape photographers, for the apparent isolation of the tree lends it a presence and also an inherent storyline (loneliness, resilience against the elements, confidence etc). more
The Age of Neopictorialism
Contending that photography, like painting, can be a medium for art, photographers of the 19th century evolved a style known as Pictorialism. more
What it meant to me
We all, as photographers, reach for our camera, place in the frame what we want to include in our photograph, and press the shutter button. One thing that is common in all of us is that we did it for a reason. more
