Portrait Project – 52/52

January 1, 2015 by [ayu]

My final post of this year’s 52 Portrait project is here. A day late, but that’s okay. I’m sure you’d understand one’s need to sleep after staying up longer, having too much fun with friends and family, who gathered together in the last hours of 2014. Allow me to share some of the things I feel grateful for in the year 2014 (don’t worry, I have a lot of things I am grateful for, but I am only sharing the […]

Portrait Project – 51/52

December 27, 2014 by [ayu]

Christmas eve in my house was a bit of chaos. Unlike most people in Australia, our family open our Christmas presents in Christmas eve. Right after mass, and after enjoying our precious time eating scrumptious dinner together as a family, then it was time for us to open our presents. In my head that worked perfectly. In reality, it was a total chaos. Right after we got home, the begging started, and promises were made to open only one present […]

30 Nov 2014. A cuddle in the early birthday morning, when you still smell like sleep, when teeth haven’t met brush&toothpaste, and when everyone was wearing what they were wearing the night before. It’s the best kind of birthday cuddles of all.

52 Portrait Project – 9/52

March 2, 2014 by [ayu]

This week’s portraits were all about my family in a lazy Sunday morning. It’s one of those Sundays when despite the great weather outside you are happy enough just to be home, around each other, and do…well, practically nothing that has any objective or significant goal. It’s interesting to see the various reactions each one gave me to my photo taking today. I’m happy with the result as it shows each family member’s characteristic quite well.

52 Portrait Project – 5/52

February 2, 2014 by [ayu]

This father & daughter moment was captured from far away, using a 80-200mm lens lent to me by a dear friend. I’ve been watching my family playing with some cheap toys we just bought at the local bazaar at the outside lawn of the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar. The sun was almost setting, though it still shone very brightly. These two weren’t even aware that I was following them with my lens. I love how the essence of […]

Day 168 #Project365

June 16, 2012 by [ayu]

My big sister (in the photo) and my two lovely nieces (not in the photo) are in town for a short visit. It’s been too long, and we only have a week together until they have to fly back. So from now until then, our days will be filled with cuddles, kisses, chats lots of giggles and more cuddles. A photo a day continues, but probably with less writing for a week. I’m sure you all will understand.
