Things To Seto

Well, January came and went and I didn't manage to blog once. My bad. It's not to say that I haven't been taking pictures, because I have. Lately I've been really trying to push myself creatively by taking on a personal project, and until now it just wasn't ready to be shown.

My younger sister, Adriana, and I have launched a lifestyle blog: THINGSTOSETO.COM. What started out as a joke idea immediately turned into something that the both of us got really excited about. For Adriana, this blog gives her the opportunity to entertain people with her witty and hilarious voice. For me, it gets me out of my element as a photographer and makes me approach photography with a fresh new perspective. 

Here are some outtakes from an afternoon we spent out at Ghost Lake. You can check out the full set HERE. I'm excited to see how this endeavour helps the both of us grow as creatives. 

2014 | The B-Roll

2014 has been pretty good to me. I've met so many amazing photographers this year who have helped inspire me and learn more about taking good photos, on top of being really great friends. I graduated from university, got to go back to Hong Kong, and travel across the prairies to shoot a tour for a musician I greatly respect. Going back through the photos I've taken in 2014, I can't help but feel thankful for the people I've met this year and the memories I've made and preserved with them. 2015, I'm ready for you.

Chelsea and Andrew | Calgary Wedding

I got to be Shan Fredrickson's second shooter for this wedding and had a blast. Shan is such a good photographer and Chelsea and Andrew are such great people.

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald's #WAYTOOBIG #WAYTOOLOUD | Calgary Recording Sessions

"#WAYTOOBIG #WAYTOOLOUD is a collaborative spectacle of sights and sounds performed by a group of touring and local performers who have only just met. It is a show featuring the music of Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, arranged by Grammy-nominated composer Amritha Vaz utilizing choirs, orchestras and bands – all rehearsing privately, to come together for one-night-only artistic collaboration."

Based on the recording sessions I got to sit in on back in June, these shows are going to be absolutely amazing. You do not want to miss out.

Exploring | Taipei Revisted

There's something I really enjoy about not actually having any plans when travelling and just being spontaneous. Yes, sometimes you need to have an itinerary but for the most part I love just wandering aimlessly around, soaking in whatever comes into fruition.

Going to Taipei with my sister was an absolute blast. I have been to Taipei before but I never quite experienced it this way. For one thing, the weather was much more bearable this time so actually walking around all day did not make me feel like melting. The fact that my younger sister is so passionate about food made eating a much more important part of the trip, something that I greatly appreciated. Every interaction we had struggling to overcome the language barrier was another fun memory that we could laugh about at the end of the day.

In short, I really love Taipei and it was a blast being able to explore it with someone I care about so much.
