Take A Pic
Oftentimes as writers/creatives, we have a tendency to push ourselves to creative and mental burnout. No matter how much rest we seem to get sometimes the fatigue continues to lurk around. Causing that familiar sluggish feeling that we have a hard time shaking but eventually do. Eliminating the word can't from your vocabulary as a human can work magical wonders for you. It's not that you don't have the ability to push through or finish whatever it is you are working on, it's that hump of a feeling that slows you down once you realize you are getting closer to a goal or finishing a project.

The Majestic Polar Bear
There were tears. Not from me, but it was a near thing. Standing in the underwater tunnel with four strangers, only thin glass separating us from the pool of water overhead, we all shared a moment of awe as a polar bear swam over us with steady, powerful strokes. I'll never see or meet those people again, I don't know who they were or where they were from, but at that moment we all shared the same feeling. It's hard to explain the transcendent feeling that overtook us in that moment, but it left some of us in tears; this amazing animal had graced us with its majesty and we were in awe.

The Happiest Marsupial alive?
This particular Quokka shot is my favourite purely because it's a mother proudly showing off her baby, which is safely tucked in her pouch. What more can be said about how special that is? She came hopping straight up, bold as can be as soon as I kneeled down near her. She sat up and smiled, eyes glittering with happiness! With a greeting like that, how could anyone have a bad day? Not only did she pose for a few photos, with a nice quiet baby behaving in her pouch (she must be a super mother!), but even obligingly looked up at the camera for a quick social media selfie with me as well.

Backyard Creatures
For many years my trusty digital camera a Pentax Optio W 60 waterproof has never failed me. In the early morning stepping out on my second-floor floor front porch I looked down into the yard and saw what looked like a cat met with an accident. Fluffkins was sunbathing and the sight of him in the morning sunlight made me smile and this was the result.

The Time I Danced With the Black Swan
It was 2013. I was alone in Ottawa, Canada for Thanksgiving as I was not able to travel home due to work. That morning, I awoke feeling alone and restless despite the sun's rays stroking my face; staying inside my cold apartment was not an option.

Grey Reef Sharks Norfolk Island
I captured this image in Norfolk Island in January 2021. I went there for a short holiday purposedly for sharks diving, but also to get away from my routine in Eden, NSW. I am highly passionated about sharks and have been making some short footage and capturing images while I scuba dive and snorkeling, although not in professional way, some messages are delivered in my footage with intention of encouraging people to have more respects towards sharks by stop consuming or fishing. I believe by showing people how beautiful sharks are, it could positively change people mind-set that have been brainwashed by social media that telling sharks are a monster. At the same time, people also need to know that sharks are a territorial wild animal. If we want to dive with them, we have to dive respectfully in safe ways, by keeping distance, eyes to eyes to sharks and never dive in murky water when we can't see them. It's highly likely that sharks could attack people as a mistaken identity. Despite, sharks are intelligence and awesome animals, we also need them for healthy oceans.

Finishing University
My last week. This week is my last week at University. I have been studying photography for about two years now doing the course part time, really taking my time to soak up as much as I can throughout the course. As I write this I am sitting at my desk working on my final ever assessment, well trying to anyway.
