Photo of the Day: Passion In The London Underground (Part 1)

August 25, 2011

Waiting for the very last train home after a night on the town, the quiet underbellies of Westminster Station had never looked so beautiful. Brushed steel and glass, a cavernous network of escalators and staircases engulfed us as we descended down. Why hadn’t we noticed the scale of this place before? Place is so strongly […]

Photo of the Day: An Evening Walk by the South Bank

August 16, 2011

After a dinner out with friends last Friday, we decided to walk home from West London all the way to London Bridge. It’s an hour long stroll along the riverbank and is probably my all-time favorite thing about this city; the walking. London is the only place that I’ve lived where you can wake up […]

Photo of the Day: Shoreditch Cool

August 12, 2011

A friend once told me that you can live a thousand lives in London and still not discover every nook and cranny of the place. Sure enough, I was reminded of this a few days ago after a work meeting when we wandered into Shoreditch, a too-cool-for-me neighborhood in East London. There’s a new, industrial, […]

Photo of the Day: Muses and Walls

August 9, 2011

I’m in London for the next few weeks and it feels like deja vu from last summer. August in this crazy city I used to call home. It feels different these days; a stronger hint of violence in the air, a little more crowded and chaotic, people less available and more hurried than before. It […]

Photo of the Day: Istanbul

July 30, 2011

When I first moved to Europe, my first “exotic” trip outside of London was to Istanbul. It is one of the most enchanting cities I’ve visited, with its beautiful mosques and towering minarets. I remembering staying at the Swissotel Istanbul and being spoiled with Turkish delights every single night with a view of the Bosphorus […]

Photo of the Day: Children in Santorini

July 20, 2011

Santorini is a dark beauty located in the southern Aegean Sea. An island perched on the rim of an ancient volcano, it s a hot, romantic paradise that is unlike Asia’s tropical beaches. There is an eerie juxtaposition between the honeymooning couples that litter the island every year and the seemingly bottomless caldera that it […]

Photo of the Day: City Wall in Lijiang

July 13, 2011

Our trip to China was such a blur that I can’t remember in my head what the differences are between the cities that we visited. What I remember clearly, however, was our deliberate effort to NOT plan. Besides lodging and a few known sites, we didn’t pre-arrange anything. This gave us the flexibility to wander […]

Photo of the Day: Texture in Macau

July 11, 2011

I know, I know, it’s Macau again, but seriously, the city is a treasure trove of gorgeous photographs. It is blessed with the most beautiful, paint chipped, sun damaged, rotten walls. Buildings have a texture here. You can almost describe them as crunchy.  Crusted, chipped and dry, they are beautiful in any light. If this […]
