Over the holidays, my family and I were lucky to get the opportunity to drive to Chicago to visit family. We took all the precautions that we could at the time (masks, sanitizing, hand washing, testing, vaccinating) and returned safely. While there, it was so cold that we ended up spending most of our time…
A Short Reflection
Being a medical student in the middle of the pandemic has given me a lot of time to reflect lately and really try to practice expressing gratitude. I remember being pulled from my last rotation of third year in March, unsure of how long all us students would be waiting for news that COVID-19 was…
Bridge Walks

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Taking a self portrait is pretty difficult, but taking one with a macro lens is quite the task. I set up my camera on a tripod and took ~50 shots of my eye before finding one that was in focus (😅). Through this endeavor, I quickly realized the power of bright window lighting and a…
A Refreshing Drink
My sister, brother-in-law, and I tried out some (really photogenic) Thai iced tea at a local fusion Asian restaurant in our hometown pre-quarantine times. It’s hard to find a Thai iced tea that has the perfect blend of flavors without being overwhelmingly sweet or powdery. This one did the trick! Next task on my to-do…

It’s been a little more than a year since my last post on this blog, but with a new year comes new resolutions! I’ve been trying to share more of my photography on Instagram (which markets itself as a quicker and more spontaneous alternative to blogging but I’m not really sure how true that is…)…
Ringing in the New Year
I was determined to experiment with light trail photos last night in a recent attempt to pick up my DSLR again and stop relying on my phone for photos all the time (still a w.i.p). After witnessing a few confused looks and having a slightly odd conversation about meteorology with a passerby, I decided to…
Venice by Night
The last few weeks have been spent mostly at my school’s library. During my breaks, I’d scroll through Instagram accounts and blogs that remind me of the excitement of being in a place I’ve never been to before, the pretty overwhelming feeling of having so much to explore and discover. With that, I was motivated…
Chicago Pt. 2
Walking around downtown Chicago, I couldn’t help but be that tourist with her camera pointed at something at all times — the crazy architecture of the city’s skyscrapers, the infamous landmarks at Navy Pier, or plain trees in some cases…embarrassing, I know. Before going on the trip, I made a mental list of all the…
