Food

I like to eat out on the weekend and try cuisines from around the world. The many herbs and spices produce complex flavors that somehow come together like orchestral music.

Through my lens

“A photograph is a souvenir of a memory. It is not a moment. It is the looking at the photograph that becomes the moment. Your own moment.” (David Levithan)
