The point of roses
Flowers are a waste of time. You can’t eat them… or so my dad vowed and declared most of his life. His bugle shaped Gramma Pumpkins grew crazily on his woodpile. Mum, the Culinary Queen added sultanas and nuts to transform them into tasty, sweet pies for our dessert bowls. For years, flowers were grown by Mum… including vibrant nasturtiums (edible ‘bread and butter’ flowers).

The Struggles Of Wigan: A Real Story
The Struggles of Wigan: A Real Story Wigan, a town in Greater Manchester, once thrived as a significant centre for coal mining. The echoes of hard work and dedication lived on in its streets, celebrated by the families of miners who carved their lives in coal and grit. But after years of economic shifts and policy decisions, Wigan faced a harsh reality—a struggle exacerbated by changes in immigration patterns and a government that seemed to favor others over its own.

Like Lightning
My camera hung heavy around my neck. I followed C around the landscape of her family's farmland nestled in a remote French village, 30 minutes by electric bike from the city of Lille. It was March, tipping into April. The spring air was crisp and what little dusting of snow there had been was already melted. Up until then, C and I spent every weekend at grungy basement parties or black tie events. Sometimes there would be a dinner of her parents to attend to, or a family function, or a family friend's family function. Sometimes there were dancing and etiquette classes on the weekends in order to attend all those black tie events and functions. The social life of the French elite was always moving.

Con Man
GalaxyCon Raleigh 2022 I will never forget the day I took this picture. It was truly a return to form. So imagine this: in the year 2020 Covid strikes and the world is now living under the mandates of a pandemic. We all remember how that went right? Social distancing and very limited contact in public places to lower the risk of exposure to the coronavirus.

Southport Memories
I first heard about Southport, North Carolina when I was reading one of Nicholas Sparks novels called Safe Haven. While reading the book I saw so many similarities between me and the main character Katie and everything she’s been through. I went through a lot of hurt myself and I was in a bad relationship at one point myself, and there were a bunch of times I wasn’t sure if I would ever fall in love again. Because the trust, love, and protection had been shattered, and I wasn’t sure if it could be fixed. But just like Katie it did, and I too found someone better that could never hurt me or break my heart again. After watching the movie adaptation and seeing the story brought to life I wondered if I would ever go there someday. My opportunity finally came because there was an event in Wilmington I got invited to attend. I knew Southport wasn’t too far from Wilmington and I decided to stay in Southport while there for the weekend.

While on a bridge
“I’ve always loved days like this.” “What do you mean?” “When the sky is black and there’s still light from the sun.” . The truth was she loved and cherished contrasts. They were somehow an expression of her self. She had always been this bookworm, the perfect student with a promising career, but at the same time her thirst for freedom had lately taken the lead. In this she was his mentor. He had only known about school, school and school and then the world of academia: he was about to finish his PhD in Quantum Physics. They met in a conference at the university. They clicked after a brief exchange and after a couple of months of attending events together, she told him she was leaving soon to South America and he decided to join. “I’ve never done something like this before and I think I should,” those were his words; though his intentions were indeed of a different nature.

Soul Companion; Shaman Ayes
Congratulations, Einstein, yes, I am a cat! Beyond the obvious observation, can you hold my gaze while I tell you about myself? No, I cannot talk, per se, however, my mum of a different breed channels my innermost thoughts. Marilyn is not my owner; I am not a pet. A cat shall never be owned. Instead, she is my soul companion, my human counterpart, my protege, dare I say, who holds all my knowledge.

A Solitary Place
When I think of a special place where I can be free of everything from the outside world it would be a place like this. I know some might say why the swamp, and there are a bunch of whys, of why I would come to a place like this. One of the main reasons is that the second I arrive, and I hop out of my car all I can hear is nothing. It’s like an ASMR video where all you can hear are the sounds of nature from crickets, frogs, barred owls, and even the sound of rushing water from the river. For me this location is everything I need. When I first visited this location where my Airbnb is that I frequently rent out when I want to escape from everything, I was taken back at how almost secluded it was. Even though there were a few houses close nearby on a long dirt road it was perfect. I made so many memories just staying in this little cabin on the river.
