About Me

Individualist and out-of-the-ordinary is how I describe myself. Growing up with newspapers, I have interests in world politics, subcultures, and history. I like learning about cultures and philosophies while understanding geopolitics that affects various countries and societies. Inspirations come from reading Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens

On a lighter note, I do photography as well as cosplay. Cosplayers and pets are my main subjects. My approach to photography is to capture the best from the start; I don't do much CGI or special effects and like my works to be as they were shot.
