BIG BEN GREAT MAN
This image is taken while whizzing across Westminster, London in a taxi. I am so happy with how this image turned out. Through the natural archway of the leafless winter branches, the statue of a Great Man stands in near-perfect alignment with Big Ben.
This opportune shot makes me think how important it is to seize the moment and live life. Sometimes we get lucky. Other times, not. The point indeed is never to give up.

AVENUE
On my first ever visit to the beautiful city of Aix en Provence in 2013, this beautiful tree-lined avenue was one of my first sights.
It made me think of how life moves in mysterious ways. How life is a mystery. How you can try to plan things, but life always finds a way to escape your control and startle you. Therefore, cherish these fun surprises and always look forward to what might be around the corner. Nobody can control the wind, but we can adjust our sails.

CHANNEL
This Amsterdam canal is captured from upon a stone bridge with low sunlight on a Sunday afternoon in late Winter. Amsterdam has miles upon miles of canals, built initially to protect the city. Today, the canals and all their bridges, make the city a unique, exotic and vibrant tourist destination.
And so like in life, you do not always know what bridge to cross, metaphorically. Let Amsterdam teach you there is always another bridge to be found. There are no perfect passages over obstacles, only different ways on the journey. So lay down your fears, because all you need is right here, right now. The first step on the bridge of your choosing.

DANDELIONS
Fort Carre, Antibes, South of France. I captured this image on a morning run. I originally thought I had captured a meadow of dandelions by the sea. It turned out to be coltsfoot. I only found out after the design had been named. I decided not to correct it.
We are human. So, occasionally we make mistakes. The good bit is when we learn from our mistakes, getting better by doing so. Do not dwell negatively on error. Instead, focus on what is important. Life is like a camera. Find a subject, engage yourself, take a shot, capture the essence, and hope it all works out and is a great photo. If not, just take a new shot!
