It’s been two days since I got the flu. I’m very low on supplies especially water so I decided to go to the supermarket to buy some stuff. I documented my little excursion with a series of photos: So that’s my trip to the supermarket. And the plot twist of the day is the care package that I received from our HR. I hope I … Continue reading Got the Flu and my trip to the Supermarket

Two years ago, I wrote this blog post about my near death experiences in Burkina Faso. I got sick with Malaria, missed a coup d’etat and a terror attack. That’s why this photo is very important to me. Malaria changed me. I borrowed a couple of paragraphs from that post but you can always check out the blog post here. Mike two years ago: So … Continue reading Through the Lens: Malaria in Africa
I’m very lucky to be part of the three out of four operator trainings in Uganda. I was supposed to just assist but they asked me to be a trainer. It’s weird that I’m still a trainee myself but I don’t have any choice. Also, I’m not much of a talker actually so speaking in front of this crowd gave me an anxiety. This experience … Continue reading Through The Lens: Overcoming my Stage Fright
This photo was taken with my very first roll of film. Literally the first frame of the roll as you can see with the frame burn. I didn’t know that this is a thing until I read a post from our Facebook Film Group. There’s even a dedicated instagram page (@f1rstoftheroll) for this beautiful thing. After that, I started to appreciate this phenomenon and I … Continue reading Through the Lens: First of the Roll

As of writing, … Continue reading NEW SERIES! NEW SERIES!
If you are following me on Instagram, you should know that I love taking long walks and street photography has a special place in my heart.

I can see you Kylie Jenner … Continue reading Scammed in Nairobi, Kenya: Photographers Beware
I’m used to working non-stop. In my last site, I work from 5:30 to 16:30. That’s Monday through Saturday. My work load in that minesite in Burkina Faso was not a joke. I get just enough energy to eat dinner and that’s about it. Haggardo Versoza days in Burkina Faso Fast forward to my site here in Uganda. I barely do anything. For this month, … Continue reading Lifestyle Change
I’m starting a new blog series entitled Culture Shookt. Basically it’s a collection of things from Uganda that got me shookt. For my first entry, I’ll talk about cannibalism and witchcraft in Uganda. Okay, let’s make things clear. These are just accounts from the people I know here in Africa and in no way verified. Don’t expect Jessica Soho investigations. These are just hearsays. Or … Continue reading CULTURE SHOOKT: Cannibalism and Witchcraft in Uganda
Well not really because I believe what I have doesn’t need any fixing. Also, why fix if it’s not broken in the first place. Okay. I’m lost with that train of thought. Five months ago, I got the chance to attend a Coldplay concert in Taiwan. Why did I end up in Taiwan you may ask? Welcome to this roller coaster ride to Taiwan. Actually … Continue reading Coldplay Fixed Me
