20 Years On
This is my little tribute to the victims who perished in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the twin towers, pentagon, and world trade center. In this blog I talked about my own experiences of seeing this unfold on TV. I was 16 years old, an Aussie child in Australia, and this event shock me to my core.
I will never forget.

A Year on...From Flames to Rain
In 2019, we had bushfires and deadly smoke.
In 2020, we have a virus.
In my blog, I re-created a number of photos that were taken in 2019, and matched them with 2020. The stark differences are remarkable.
