Simple, yet powerful, the above photo is all about making a choice that decided the future of a nation… It’s funny how black text on a white background is still the ‘go to’ way to communicate despite all the technology and different ways we can share information and communicate. Sure, there’s instant messaging, facebook-ing, tweeting, and who knows what else, but the simple act of writing or printing a few words on a piece … Read more → Living in a grey period – enjoying the black and the white
I was just visiting my blog and realized that it’s been about a month since I last wrote something. Well, let’s see, what’s been happening?

We spent the last 2 weeks in France after leaving Timor-Leste – one week in Paris (photos are here) and one week in Sanary.
