this blog:

We all hear it - we all hear about 'how time is passing us by' and that 'every day counts' and etc, etc. We hear it, acknowledge it, and then sometimes (most of the time) we go on and forget about it.

In recent years, I think I really have forgotten this. I think as we get older, we (obviously) become so busy with our lives, trying to achieve this and that, do this and do that; we tend to forget how each day and time itself is ticking by.

And so, for 2012, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to challenge myself to create a photo diary for 2012: to take one photo, on each individual day of the year and at a specific time, in which I feel and experience a sense of euphoria; a moment of sheer happiness; sheer joy. At the end of the year, I would have 365 moments in time in which I could reflect on - and ultimately share - in which I've stopped to appreciate each day.

I should point out that in no way, shape or form, I'm any type of professional photographer (those 2 words and I hardly ever are put together in a sentence). I just merely have a growing addiction to take photos, especially on my iPhone.

Whether anyone sees or follows this blog or not really doesn't bother me. I basically chose to create an online blog as to ensure to myself that I actually carry this project out - and to ultimately finish it.


365: days, moments, photos, memories.

27 January 2012 - 12.14pm:



My current job (also like my previous) is located outside of the main CBD of Sydney - so I never really travel much into the central part of the city unless I'm travelling around for work or if I head into the city on weekends.

Whenever I meet anyone new and/or mention that I live in Sydney to non-Sydney people, I always get the excited reaction about how amazing it must be to live in the city with one of the world's most recognised attractions - The Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Like anyone who lives in a city with a major attraction, we probably take it for granted and our reaction is 'mehhh', since we're so used to seeing it over and over again.

Yet today I was driving back to my work's office and drove across the Harbour Bridge for the first time in a few months - driving over the bridge and seeing the entire city view really did (as lame as it sounds) make me stop (for a split second since I was still driving) and realise how amazing this 'mehhh' attraction really is.
