People born on May 17 have a clear-cut code of personal behavior which guides them through every decision they make. Straightforward and to the point, they have a talent for making simple but profound comments on situations.

With little time for small talk, they say what they mean and mean what they say. They are an inspiring example to others but don’t have much patience with those who try to shirk their responsibilities; if they notice someone slacking or not pulling their weight, they are likely to tell them straight out. This clear-cut approach can, unfortunately, win them as many enemies as supporters and so they might benefit from learning more tact. Their insightful and original approach, combined with their refusal to be diverted from their chosen course, would appear to be a recipe for success. Where this is not the case it is because they have a tendency to overestimate the power of what they can achieve through determination and will-power alone. They often prefer to go it alone, but if this works against them they should recognize the power of a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Until their mid thirties there is an emphasis in their lives on learning in all its forms and they need to take advantage of these opportunities to communicate and exchange ideas with others. After the age of thirty-four they may focus more on emotional intimacy and security. If they can learn to get in touch with their own feelings and the feelings of others during this period, it promises great fulfillment and happiness.

There is no denying that these people often have fixed views on things. This can hold them back as life is not as black and white as they think it is. However, if they learn to develop a more tolerant approach it will not only help them achieve their aims and attract a following, it will also open up within them the compassion and determination to improve the lives of others and a creativity that might otherwise have remained dormant.

Working with JTB, a Japanese publisher and travel agency, to contribute to a new publication. Although I’m lending my photography skills rather than my design skills, it’s a great opportunity to be able to work with such an established company. They recently sent over a draft of the spread, Japanese dummy text included, and it looks promising. The magazine won’t be out till February, so hopefully the layout won’t stray too far from what they sent over.

2012: A Retrospect

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:51:46 -1000

The past year has been a challenge, struggling to get my shit together, but here I am with my sanity still intact. My pathetic self was still sulking over the previous year from the fact that life wasn’t going as planned. The first half of 2012 was spent trying to figure out what I wanted to do and the other half was spent trying to do it. The year probably wasn’t the best, but there were some great moments nonetheless.

Highlights:

- The Class
- Working retail
- Finally landing design jobs
- Meeting and working with amazing and talented people
- Figuring out what I want out of life

Here’s to 2013 being a good year for me.

Cold, gloomy weather means chunky sweaters and spending the day outside

Woke up early yesterday and took the scenic route to Kailua to visit Oliver, a new menswear store that opened up a couple months ago.
