5M ago
Two days after we’d happily disembarked the Emperor Echo, post a week of relaxing diving in perfect conditions, a strong storm hit the boat in its moorings at Fury Shoals. One of its moorings snapped, and the boat was swung violently into the reef, damaging its hull. Thankfully, everyone managed to safely evacuate and are ..read more

We could sneak in a week getaway in August, taking advantage of the Singapore National Day Holiday. But where to go? I kept getting drawn back to kayaking again in Greece, yearnings of swimming in those stunningly clear waters and feasting on the freshest and sweetest tomatoes and cucumbers. So back to Milos it was ..read more

I had a work thing in San Diego last week. It was a blast. Really grateful for the opportunity again to meet up with the global teams, and the different people that we otherwise only see on Zoom. Lots of quality time together, from Monday evening through Thursday afternoon. After, Jeff and I went up ..read more

Writing a look back on the past year hadn’t crossed my mind this time, not to mention my complete overlooking of the fact that another decade had just flashed by. I only realized this after the deluge of posts by friends online, listing their accomplishments, highlights and lowlights. Photographically speaking (since this is technically a ..read more

What an incredible week we just spent living on the Blue Manta, a diving liveaboard that is currently sailing the waters of Raja Ampat, from the Dampier Strait to Misool and back. A pod of at least two dozen spinner dolphins accompanying our sail to Dampier Strait Life underwater there is so rich, teeming with ..read more

Second last night of our weeklong trip: We just had a final 15 km to go – easy peasy, compared to the other 25-30 km days we’ve had in some epic conditions. However, our rash guards were starting to smell ripe, despite our best attempts to rinse them out to dry every night. And most ..read more

Diving with Hammerheads in Yonaguni

It’s an exercise of patience, diving for pelagics. We plunged into the blue waters, the shock of the jump quickly replaced with a sense of calm, belying the rolling seas and biting wind above. At first, our eyes see nothing but blue. Suspended in this blue environment, the bubbles from our regulators are the only ..read more

We were supposed to go camping in Kiama a couple of weeks ago with a bunch of friends. It was a new-moon weekend, perfect for astrophotography. Alas, I caught a cold at the last minute, so Jeff and I regrettably had to drop out. From the pictures, everyone else looked like they had a blast ..read more

My mum came to visit, so we went for a long weekend down in Batemans Bay. It’s a gorgeous location – very chill, much more low key than Jervis Bay, an hour to the north. We got an AirBnB down by Surf Beach, where we went to one morning to catch the sunrise. The storm ..read more

2017 is zooming us by. I can’t believe it’s just a few days more before winter arrives in the Southern hemisphere. Looking at the number of photographs I’ve taken so far this year, my output has fallen quite a bit. Indeed, I haven’t felt that driven to go out for sunrise shoots, or just shoots ..read more
