Yes, I am a photojournalist but that is not all you need to know.

Often times, I have been asked what exactly led me into photography and events coverage.

Well, If I wake up to that question, my answer may be 'nothing' because my love affair with taking photos is sacred - a belief I hold dear.

On the flipside however, I may say from growing up in my teeny-weeny years, I loved seeing colourful drawings and I appreciated them very much even though I could not really interpret photos then.
