Christening Photos

-
Here are some photos I did for a Christening a while ago. I'm photographing another one next weekend and I'm really excited for it!

To me, Christenings are like miniature weddings, except for the legally binding union part. Similar work is involved. If the thought of photographing weddings daunt you, I would suggest try doing Christenings first. It's not the same of course, but it's like dipping your toes into the world of wedding photography.

Why I teach the next generation how to code

-
A note from the author: I originally wrote this blog post in 2017 and it was originally published in  Medium . I no longer teach young people how to code in my spare time - changing life circumstances, a deadly pandemic and shifting what was meant to be a social program online made this incredibly difficult. But I wouldn't rule it out for the future. Either way, I hope you enjoy this post. If you're interested in teaching young people how to code, visit the Coderdojo website. Coderdojo was the organisation that I was involved in that allowed me this experience. For that I'm forever grateful.

An inclusive web

My boss once said to a stakeholder, “The developer [me] is a web accessibility expert and that’s one of the reasons why I hired her.” Before I write any further, I would stop short of calling myself an accessibility expert. Yes, accessibility is always the first thing I think of when I build a website or web app, before I even think about gathering business requirements or collaborating with the designer/art director to design the aesthetics. But I’m not part of the disability community. My experience in every day life is not the same as theirs. I only know what I know because of research, experience and actually doing user focus group testing with that particular audience, interacting with them and getting to know them. It’s comprehensive and it ensures that I ensure all bases are covered and we build the best app/website/software possible, but it isn’t the same. But know this, and it’s important that you do: you don’t have to be part of the disability community to keep inclusivit...

2022 is the year I'll be going back to school

-
Personally, 2021 was a year that I do not wish to experience again. Some things didn't work out for me on both a professional and personal level. I'll be honest and frank about that.  While a lot of things didn't work out for me in 2021, one important thing did: I found out yesterday that I was accepted into a graduate studies program in data science at Monash University, and it's likely that I'm going to accept the offer and enrol in the course. My aim is to get a Masters in Analytics once I'm done. I start in March 2022. I'll finish by the end of 2023.   This wasn't a decision that I made lightly - in fact, I was toying with the idea of going back to school since 2015. From 2015 onwards, I was making countless course enquiries to universities all over the country (and even one in New Zealand and another in the US) but I would never proceed past the enquiry stage. I was scared that I was going to regret the decision and that I was going to get myself in...
