At PEP Asia, to see so many photographers so excited to meet with us and connect the dots with them, I’m meeting up with so many Facebook friends here and everything makes me feel old as people have been saying that they’ve been following me for 8 -10 years and I’m like ‘Oh my god, I feel already old right now ‘.
