The Sungei Buloh (pronounced soong-i boo-low) Wetland Reserve [link] in northern Singapore is home to a sweep of mangrove plants that thrive on the humid air and soggy marshland. Taken in early morning during high tide, the same scene an hour later can present a completely different image. The roots of the plants survive above and under water, making their amazing adaptive abilities seem like a cunningly crafted work of art by nature.

In the past year, I collected newspapers and magazines of almost everything as we went through hard-fought primaries to the momentous election. To me, it’s like holding onto a piece of history. We placed our hopes on one man, a man that has already changed our ever-changing landscape and could change even more. He was sworn into office a little over a week ago, and the world was with us as we watched. There will be false starts, he said, but that’s okay. We have hope again.

I was born in Singapore but now call Sydney, Australia my home. When not taking photos or maintaining my blog, some fancy piece, I like to cook with the BF, and jazz out to Django Reinhardt and the other jazz legends.

I love Amy's simple yet never dull approach to examining the world, whether in writing or photos, and these 52 weeks will be a welcome challenge to look at things differently. Current camera of choice is the Canon 5D, and some prime lenses.

I'm Amy, and I love to laugh. In my spare time, I learn trivia from crosswords, bake up a storm, and do random acts of kindness. On occasion, I write poems that induce smiles and induce smiles with my quirkiness. I have a little corner of the web at toastier.org where I enjoy warm and toasty socks.

Currently I rock the Nikon D40 and when I can, I shoot on film. By the way, my Sydney counterpart is a highly talented and wonderful person whose photographs speak thousands.
