This topic never grows old. Every digital photographer regardless of mastery has one point or another asked themselves this question, should I shoot in RAW or JPEG? Here’s my take on it…

Artisan Obscura
I guess I’m guilty of indulging in “gear porn” on Instagram. I would lust over old Pentax 67 cameras and other rare camera oddities on the mobile picture sharing site whenever I ran out of magazines to read. That’s exactly where I discovered Artisan Obscura, a company based out of Denver, that handcrafts soft release buttons […]
A lil’ bit of backstory… I bought the Fuji X-Pro1 in July 2013, and it’s been slightly more than a year since I’ve owned it. To be honest, I’ve thought of selling it off many times. I’m not exactly in love with this camera… But every time I’m about to put a listing to […]
The Road Ahead
You really can’t see much of the traffic in front. It was such a horrible downpour, but I’m not sure if it’s the worse so far for this year’s monsoon season. I guess in a way it’s similar to my experience this year. An adventure into the unknown, a thick misty fog… Somewhat frightening, yet […]
I was running errands with my Mum yesterday when we were caught in a really nasty monsoon rain. Visibility on the road was about 20%. Couple weeks ago a pedestrian bridge near the highway we were traveling on collapsed from the impact of rain. Thankfully there weren’t any casualties. Crazy stuff just keeps happening up […]
I was at the Singapore Botanic Garden, photographing specifically orchids, as I usually do. I wasn’t expecting myself to shoot anything apart from flowers so I coupled my D800 with my macro lens along with my X-Pro1 (for anything else). On my way out of the garden, I caught sight of a kid feeding bread […]
Chapel by Tancha Bay
Woke up to this balcony view around 5.30am. The sun sure is bright so early! Yup it was also pretty windy too. That chapel, which is part of the beach resort, doesn’t look exactly fitting on Okinawa though. Probably the result of the theme wedding trend the island is experiencing. Quite ironic since couples have […]
Aerial view of Taoyuan, Taiwan
The airplane flying above Taoyuan, Taiwan, in full view of Taoyuan International Airport and the surrounding towns. The aerial view of this part of Taiwan seems rather disorganized and scattered… It felt incredible to get a full view of the airport before the plane lands, which is probably attributed to the geographical location of the […]
The view from out above
The view from the window seat of an Airbus A300 above the South China Sea, somewhere between the Philippines and Taiwan. Lucky to snag it. I haven’t got the chance to sit next to the window of a plane for a pretty long while… It was the strangest flight (heck everything on this airline is […]
Choco, the beagle with long luscious eyelashes who’s often found in a corner in a pensive mood. No idea what’s on his mind though… Choco was an excitable, extroverted dog when he was younger. Not sure if his change to a more introverted temperament has to do with maturity…
I can’t ever get angry with my hamster. Then again, I don’t have much of a temper with animals. I do wish I had the same level of patience and concern with people as I do with animals. It’s tough being mad at a cute-looking critter though. My hamster was arranging “crop circles” of bedding […]
My dearest hamster who is formally known as Felix, and casually known as Animoo (Moo Moo at times). How we ended up with a variety of nicknames for this furry critter is lost on me. Then again I’m fond of nicknames myself and have countless aliases under my belt. This photo is taken with my […]
Chunky cuts of french toast garnished with mixed berry compote fresh off the stove, sprinkled with some powdered sugar and mint leaves. If it wasn’t enough, it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This brunch-dessert is one of the limited items of the brunch menu at Open Door Policy. Not sure how it […]
That’s a one-shot cold drip coffee from Drips Bakery Cafe served in a minimalist Bodum Pavina double-wall glass. Apparently this is the cafe’s house special. The drink sure seems pretty with the sun shining down from the skylight, creating that half under shade sunlight look. Alas it’s such a tiny cup my friend sipped her […]
