shahbag // february '13

I was lucky enough to be in Bangladesh when the Shahbag Protest started. Although I am going to abstain from voicing my opinions, I must say it is every photographers dream to be able to visit such a politically electric movement. Since I was on a holiday I didn't have the ideal gear on me and I didn't get to spend much quality time there. Nevertheless, here's what I got:

chacha // february '13

A rickshaw driver I met at the Korail Slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh. 

Once I showed him this photograph, he flashed me his teeth, all four of them. 

This is probably one of my favour photograph's I have ever taken.

OneBillionRising // february 14th 2013

On the 14th of February, people around the world rose up to violence against women through OneBillionRising (OBR). I was a part of OBR Bangladesh this year and took photos of the candle light vigil, which corresponded with the Shahbag Protest's, to remember those who were raped in the 1971 war in Bangladesh.

innes national park // december '12

Family vacation down to the very peaceful and absolutely beautiful Innes National Park. I got to experience kangaroo's and emu's wandering about my backyard and so many different sea views that frankly, I'm off the ocean for a while:

 (that's actually a lake, the water was a crazy blue - no colour adjustments here)

On the drive back to Adelaide, we stopped off at the Wattle Point Wind Farm:

bits of sydney // march '12

Early last month I was in Sydney for a mere three days. Didn't get much photo time, but this is what I got.

film // two seconds singapore

I filmed a lot on my trip to Singapore. When I came back I banged my head on the wall for about 10 days. I didn't know what to make of all the footage. There was no story line I could think of that wasn't sappy. No music that perfectly defined the essence of Singapore. And then I thought of this: no story line, no music, just a conglomerate of the footage. Two seconds worth of clips. Smooshed together. Introducting, "Two Seconds Singapore".

singapore - little india // november '11

Just got back from a 10 day trip to Singapore. Out of those 10 days, 5 were spent lugging my camera around. This is some of the shots I came up with. I figured I'd take this little trip to expand on my street photography, but it's rather tricky to do with prime lenses. When taking portrait I have more control moving back and forth. Not with street photography, moments end in an instant.

This is part one of the few photographs I took in Singapore. All in Little India. It's amazing how Little India is literally like a miniature India, it doesn't feel like Singapore.
