Where to now?

To infinity and beyond? Nah, just the next blog post. Nothing fancy, nothing really elaborate, just real talk for the moment. When I first started this blog, I wanted it to showcase my thoughts and my photography, but with that came the overthinking and the hesitation. I wanted to blog to be as polished as […]

Moment of Clarity

Ever take a minute or two to ask yourself – Why do I act the way I do? And what is it that influences the decisions I make on an internal level? Why are certain traits more dominant than others? Was it due to my upbringing? Current environment? So many questions, yet so little blog […]

The Picture

At the onset of this blog, I had mentioned that this blog was going to cover a wide range of topics and that is still the game plan, but on this latest installment of Moments in the City, I’m actually going to go into a moment I had in the city earlier this week and […]

The Magic Johnson Year

So this is the official post birthday introspective perspective post. The one where I try to make sense of life’s mysteries and whatnot. Yeah, that’s the one. Truth is, I don’t have the answers and I tend to give out a lot of solid advice that I never take myself. It’s an ongoing process of […]
