I grew up with parents who were complete homebodies. They never really had any strong desire to travel and if they did, it was at most a 2-3 hour drive. That was enough for them and because that’s all I knew growing up, that was good enough for me too.

As a photographer, someone appreciating your work means the world… I think it’s still hard for some to see photography as “art”. Some think that it’s “just taking pictures… what’s so hard about that?” Especially nowadays where everyone is a photographer with their own phones and photos can be taken just at the thought of doing it, some may just not know how to value it.

I’m a bit emotional writing this blog post because this was the last wedding that we shot before our nation got quarantined. I’m still in shock that we are in this state. Just completely and utterly in disbelief… I’m looking at these photos and wondering how was this only a couple of weeks ago? We could all gather so freely!
