“I am a keen photographer from Sydney, Australia.
A life changing moment for me was February 2010, during a 2 hour shopping rush before boarding the plane from Hong Kong to Australia. There in Mong Kok, “electronics capital” of Hong Kong, I purchased my first DSLR camera – Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i with an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens.
From the moment I framed a scene and pressed the shutter button, a new intriguing world of possibilities opened to me. On that day, I put my poetic pen back into its case (except for the really special moments!). Why express the whirl of emotions, thoughts and inspirations of my mind, with words, when a photograph speaks a thousand of them?
Through Photoresque, I share with you my musings and exploration into the elements of photography.” >>> read more about Photoresque

“I am an eighteen year old photographer from Sydney, Australia. I see photography as a record of living, for anyone who really sees and like to capture sun-kissed
shoulders and windswept hair, city lights & dark. When I’m not creating dreams and capturing my wandering mind, I am documenting the people and places I come
across that are lovely and strange and beautiful all in one hurricane mess.Sitting in the sky, breathing sunspots, I hope my photography takes me to capturing musicians who I’ve been listening to for years, shooting for magazines and creating pieces of art that light up in the bug-eyes of today’s youth and inspires them to create.”
Fans of the City Daily Photo project are very familiar with the size and scope of this photographic mission. However, the casual surfer may not understand the roots of this collective photographic effort and how quickly it has grown into one of the largest photography projects on the web today. I am constantly amazed at the sheer volume of daily photographers, that put in the work to share their vision with the world. If you are new to the City Daily Photo project, take some time to review these great photographers.
About City Daily Photo Blog
The Daily Photo collection of blogs began in March of 2005 when a man in love with his city wanted to share it with the rest of the world. The Paris – One Photo A Day blog was thus launched by Eric Tenin, an amateur photographer, and soon became an unexpected phenomenon.Rapidly, this hobby began attracting thousands of readers from the world over who had either been to Paris and wanted to re-live their experience, others who have never been and dream of visiting, and those who are planning a trip and surf the site for interesting things to see.
Shortly after the quick success, the blog name was changed to “Paris Daily Photo” (easier to remember!) and became so popular, that suddenly others started writing to Eric asking how they could start a similar blog for their own city. Very quickly, cities such as London and New York followed forming the initial group of city daily photo bloggers.
The growing community began to gather on a forum initiated by Stephan Nebel, one of the first city bloggers. In 2006, Igor, a friend of Eric and Internet pioneer, did the first implementation of the City Daily Photoblog portal. A few tens of photos were then updated every hour and gave to the community its first unified visual representation. The portal drew the attention of the media and was cited on the national French radio.
In Summer 2007, Igor began the implementation of version 2 with the help of Demosthenes, a young talented web architect who introduced new features such as the city search and the favorite lists. Today over 500 blogs are registered on the portal, and the community is growing rapidly. Cities as large as London (UK), New York, NY (USA), Berlin (Germany), Hong Kong (HK), Sydney (Australia) and Venice (Italy) are obviously present, but one can also scan the Daily Photo blog globe for lesser known places such as Accra (Ghana), Greenville, SC (USA), Oulu (Finland), and Tuzla (Bosnia & Herzegovina).
