ABOUT the Memory-Maker

"Impact is putting into form what the mind didn't know it was missing" -- Yours Truly

I approach Life with an equal measure of pride and zeal.
Widely-read and opinionated, I can be an engaging conversationalist to "break the Ice of the Enterprize".

Resolute in my pursuit of distinction, I seek to connect by serving up my perspective from behind my camera (and notably, orange spectacle frames).

I aim to turn ordinary locations that we see everyday into works of art to give my subjects something unique.
It is my perennial objective to be a photographer who takes good photos without having fancy set ups or relying on breathtaking scenery.


This is the site that is dedicated to my photography.
Sit back, chillax, share and appreciate what I see through my eyes, such is the quintessence behind what is my passion.
