I would also like to take this opportunity to say a big Thank You to various camera, travel companies, travel community partners, technology brands, pr and media agencies, organisations and fellow photographer friends, filmmakers, creatives and supporters for this great working relationships, friendships and support for my photography and travel portal/blog during this Year 2022 as the world accelerated the reopening and recovery of the economy. 

I probably wrote too much in previous editions of Merry Christmas posts, therefore I decided that I would leave that for my year end reflection post instead. Here’s wishing all of you a Merry Christmas 2022, hope you have a great time with your family, loved ones and friends over food, drinks, gatherings, warmth, care, hope and love.  

Thank you for your belief, support and encouragement in Year 2022!
