The Homeless Photographer (2019)
Memories of a homeless man with a camera.
​​
For a deeper experience, get my first book, ‘The Homeless Photographer: Album of Self-reflection (2023)’, wherein I introduce you to me and show you how the world looked like in my eyes when I went homeless, abandoned by the world, hurt and betrayed, while my camera was my sole companion for consolation until we were parted by hunger. The book will also tell you why it had come into being and the story and mission behind it, as well as the meaning of all the photographs I've taken in that long, heavy, painful and dreary, most tiresome and lonesome chapter of my life... one of whom was the award winning picture I've captioned 'Like A Child, You're Lost And Can't Be Found' by the Australian Photography and Capture's MONO AWARDS (2019); some other two of those nearly hundred of pictures made it to their website, too.

Excerpt from the book:
'Ironically, upon finishing this book, I realized that the last chapter in it, which I happened to title ‘Click’ and whose two parts consisted of “bad” and “good” days, had ended up with the page number 204, corresponding with my apartment number, my very first own home ever after surviving three years of homelessness as if my tedious life during that very long and tiresome journey had only transformed within a “click” of a camera… the tricks of the universe are mad and beautiful as is, indeed.’
