A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
Every year I have the tradition on this blog to do a year in review and what I am looking forward to in the new year. I spent the last few weeks reflecting the year that was 2019 and also the previous decade of my life as the 2010s came to a close. I also thought about my goals for 2020 and to some degree my life in the new decade. A word of warning, this ended up being a fairly lengthy post.

A few months ago, I became acquainted with fellow small business owner Jovin Lim whose runs a modelmaking workshop in Perth. Through my time spent chatting and photographing Jovin and his team, I learned a bit more about model making for architects, builders and anyone who wants models designed and built from scratch. I also gained some valuable insights into the architecture and building industry which I really appreciated.

Back in November, I had the opportunity to photograph one of the baristas from Veneziano Coffee Roasters who was participating in the brewing category of the regional coffee championships hosted by Australian Specialty Coffee Association. While I’m a coffee drinker and enjoy a variety of coffees from espresso coffee to cold brew and pour overs, specialty coffee competitions was a whole new world to me. I learned quite a bit about the coffee competition in my few hours of hanging out to watch and photograph the event.

Wedding photography was never really an interest of mine. I’ve tried it (as a second shooter) twice so far. Once in 2013 with a Canon DSLR and the second time this year in 2019 with my Fujifilm X series XT10 camera. On both occasions it was to second shoot for a friend who was starting out as a wedding photographer. This blog post will be more image-heavy than normally but also dives deeper into my thoughts about photography.

We had our last Perth Fuji X Aus photowalk meetup for 2019 at the beginning of December. We decided to change it up a bit and do a social coffee catch up for half an hour before kicking off the photwalk. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces on a Sunday morning eager to explore the streets of Perth with their camera. We ended up with 12 people for the meet up which is a great turn out for the Perth FXA team. To add a bit of focus to the walk, the theme of the day was “Shadow and light”. Since my visit to Sydney, where I had such a great time shooting some street photography with the Fuji X Aus Sydney crew, it was a theme I was eager try in Perth.
