QUARAN-TINDER: A Portrait Series of Thai Youth on Dating Apps During the Pandemic
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s becoming clear just how hard young adults have been hit. Many were just starting out on their educational and career paths when the pandemic hit, and the resulting lockdowns have left them feeling isolated and disconnected from their peers. Even now, three years on, it’s clear that the lockdown had a severe impact on personal development. For those who were just starting out at the beginning of the pandemic, they may have missed out on some of the most important experiences of their lives from their first day of college to finding lifelong friends. These experiences are critical to personal growth and development of important life skills. Additionally, the pandemic has taken a toll on mental health, something that policymakers are only beginning to address as COVID-19 becomes endemic.

What makes a good postcard?
I've been post-crossing as werewegian for over ten years now. In case you don't know, postcrossing.com is a great website where you send a postcard to a randomly generated address around the world, and when it arrives and is registered, you in turn receive a postcard from a third random party. It's a fun hobby and one of the reasons I like it is that as well as tourist, Royal Mail or shop bought postcards, I can send postcards made from my own photographs. I make these at moo.com.

First Photoshoot of 2023
As cliché as it sounds, 2023 really has come around so quickly. For me, 2022 was a dream of a year, both personally and professionally - maybe even my favourite year yet. I was lucky enough to travel to some beautiful cities, meet a lot of amazing people and work with clients I could have only dreamt of working with, and so, to say that I’m excited for 2023 is an understatement.

The Kiss of Life
On July 17, 1967, the headlines of the Jacksonville Journal read “Kiss of Life” with a captivating photo underneath. The photo showed two men embraced in what appears to be a kiss, a moment of love and happiness between a couple who only have eyes for each other. Seeing two men embraced in such a manner was exactly what the image editors at the Jacksonville Journal knew would shock readers as they sat at the kitchen table, paper and coffee in hand. A closer look at the photo and story revealed this kiss was not one of love and compassion, but instead a kiss of life as one coworker helped save the life of his injured coworker.

Wildlife Photography
I am a wildlife photographer who likes to get close to my subjects since that is where the details are. The downside to getting close is dealing with a narrow Depth of Field (DoF), like the photograph above, when I can’t stop-down because the light is low and it will raise my ISO beyond what I’m comfortable with. There are also times when close with good light that I can stop-down to capture all that amazing detail like the image below.

Do you remember slide film? Also known as ‘reversal’ or ‘transparency’ film, it was a color film that produced a positive image rather than a negative. You could usually recognize a slide film if the name ended in chrome—for example, Kodachrome, Ektachrome, or Fujichrome.
