I am not a writer

I would love to be one day, but right now, I’m a photographer, and I have so many stories to tell, whether from my travel experiences or moments in life that have stayed with me. Some of them must have been frozen in a picture.

I have realised that to tell a story; you have to either talk to people so your stories can be carried around or start writing with the hope that someone will pick up your story one day.

I don’t want to forget all the nice things I did in life, and I am happy to share some of my experiences with you.

This is not a food or travel blog - it will be a collection of my stories and experiences put on paper or screen.

Icelandic stillness

It takes time.

It took me 30 years to break the writing barrier, as I was always told in school that I couldn’t write and was not good at writing. So here I am, working through the process of showing you that whatever you’ve been told in life doesn’t matter. You know best what you can and what you can’t, and you should stick to it.

Only you know what you are best at. If not, there is always a way to learn it.

This is my photography website, and I share only my personal and commercial work here.

Still, I have consciously decided not to write about camera settings or be too technical about my gear. Don’t get me wrong—I love my camera kit, but I don’t think it is essential to achieving great images.

In the last two years, I’ve travelled to many places where I worked or just walked for hours and explored.

So, while I look through my archives and travel notes, I start remembering all the memories I want to share with you.

Hanging shoes in Bushwick

To start is the best way.

I’ve started my stories blog with the latest article about Tokyo. It might be imperfect and unstructured, but I have tried to give you the essence of my experience, and I am happy with it. While in the office, excited about my writing achievements, I plan my trip to Iceland.

I’m looking forward to going back. I haven’t planned anything and don’t know where to go or what to do on this trip. I’m allowing myself to be in the flow and take whatever comes up.
