What I am Doing Now (21 October 2022)

Photography is my biggest passion, and this website is my passion project (a.k.a. self-satisfaction 😅). I’m quite happy with what I’ve done so far, from both photography perspective and web-development perspective, but I have a few more dreams to fulfil.

I’ve long wanted to self-publish a coffee table (photography) book. I’m sure there are many such services available online (I know Blurb does), so hopefully I’ll get to it in the near future.

Since my website already has eBooks and a print-on-demand store built in, releasing a physical book will be my next self-satisfactory goal. I’m not making many sales at all from all these projects 😂 but never mind. I’m fulfilling one self-satisfaction at a time!

Probably the biggest goal is to go for a long photography trip, ideally for 2-3 months. I guess people typically do such a trip of lifetime in their 60s or 70s after retiring. Of course, it’s better late than never, but I want to do it while still young (I’m nearing 50, so not quite young anymore, though 😅). It’s impossible to take 3 months off while working full-time, so I’m looking to retire early if at all possible.

Waiting for a day that I can finally spend as much time as possible for what I truly love and enjoy without worrying about flooding emails. 😅
