Medicine Meets Photography – Nepal 2011

The road became more and more bumpy as we approached our final destination. The driver came to a stop at the bottom of a steep hill. A group of local school children waved to us from an overcrowded yellow bus parked nearby. The group made its way slowly up the hill, wiping dust particles from our eyes. As usual, I stayed slightly behind, making photographs of the joyful children and deliberately taking everything in. I’ve felt overwhelmed since my arrival here few days ago, but there was no time to process anything as of yet. First Kathmandu, then my…

Photographer Spotlight: Chris Suspect

Throughout the recent years, as I’ve attended various photography events, I’ve come to know many wonderful and talented photographers, some of whom have become my friends. I first got to know Christ Suspect at a San Francisco street photography festival last year and was blown away by his work.

The rawness and honesty of the images shown truly captivated me. It was one of those…

Photographer Spotlight: Sonia Goydenko

Hello my dear readers! I’m super excited to introduce a new section into this blog that will highlight all the amazing photographers that inspire me and from whom I learn on daily basis.

I hope the interviews with these amazing photographers bring you as much value and inspiration as they have brought me. So without further ado, I introduce you to my dear friend…

Goals vs Resolutions: Which One Will You Choose?

Happy New Year everybody! I cannot believe we are here already, at the start of a new decade. Although not much of a New Year’s Eve socialite, I do love to use the very first day of a new year to reflect a bit and to set goals for the future.  I have much to be grateful for as I say good bye to 2019. I have visited many beautiful places, been recognized for my photographs, met many wonderful people and strengthened my relationships with the ones already present in my life. I have accomplished some very important…
