Understanding American Subculture
Someone recently said I look like an Asian version of Louis Theroux. It got me thinking about his documentaries covering America and then, after a few searches, I realised that he wrote a book behind his TV series. My five minutes of fame also was a coincidence because I’ve thinking about buying both of Jacob [...]
Immersive images

Street and Studio exhibition
It’s been a while since I picked up my SLR, and put it to worthy use. The Tate Modern has the Street and Studio exhibition on at moment and I cannot wait to go and see it. I hope it will drum up some inspiration and motivation. Go go check it out!
