The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Mr. & Mrs. Chin Say Gung Hei Fat Choi!
Mr. and Mrs. Chin are a set of salt and pepper grinders I got as a Christmas present one year from my sister... and possibly the most "Chinese" thing in my house at the moment. I was a bit worried about my post today. I wanted something to tie in with the Chinese New Year celebration, but wouldn't have the time to go hunt for the perfect picture to take and put up. So I scoured the house last night to find something I already have, no luck. Then when I woke up this morning, it just came to me - Mr. & Mrs. Chin who live in my sideboard! Time to pull them out for a portrait shoot! Aren't they just darling?!
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! May the Year of the Rabbit be a prosperous, happy and lucky one for you!
