Coffee & Conversations with James

Starting a new photo-series called “Coffee and Conversations”.

​Ever since I recall, meeting interesting people over coffee has been the highlight of my day.

Since photography came into play, my life has been about capturing stories and meeting people from all walks of life. I believe everyone has a story to tell and I’ve made it my mission to bring you the most real ones, time and again..

Stay tuned for this space as I brew my first cup

Meet Kelvin

A beautiful human , a hairdresser by profession and a father by choice. While in KL,Malaysia . I was advised to go to Kelvin for a haircut.

The meeting turned out to be a coffee and conversation.Residing in a charming home in the suburbs of KL, I was pleasantly surprised at the level of his chic craftsmanship and whole approach to life. Kelvin is not only a gifted talent , but also a very open hearted, warm and loving person. He is also a single father who has adopted a child in KL, named Noah.

To say that his heart is inspiring would be an understatement..

 

I couldn’t help myself but give him a Father’s day gift of a few pictures.

I captured him in his beautiful and cozy home along with his adopted dogs and cats.

We spent a long midmorning over coffee and realised just how similar we are, to be doing whole heartedly what we love and to find our inner balance, from parenting to following our passion.

It was a great Monday morning well spent, and one I look forward to each time I meet Kelvin.

Meeting James was a gift from above. I remember the day I crossed paths with him in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It’s almost like fate brought us together. Let me tell you about James – a truly remarkable person James lives in KL, and what he’s done there is nothing short of amazing.

He opened up a school right in his own home for kids who don’t have much. Now, James himself isn’t wealthy, but his heart overflows with generosity. He’s always ready to do whatever he can to help others. What’s even more touching is that he has four children of his own, yet he’s extended his care to these underprivileged kids as well.

He reached out through Facebook and connected with kind-hearted teachers who, like him, wanted to make a difference. Together, they’re nurturing these young minds and guiding them towards a better life each day.

I had the privilege of visiting James’ school, and I was blown away. The classroom was filled with children who looked well-cared-for and healthy.

They were engaged in their lessons, raising their hands, and participating eagerly. But most importantly, they were happy. The atmosphere in the school was so warm and welcoming, you could feel the dedication of everyone involved.

Teachers were putting their heart and soul into educating these kids, giving them the best they could offer.

And then there’s James himself. A gentle soul with a heart full of kindness. Spending time with him, I learned something that we all know deep down but sometimes forget – being kind is simple.

It doesn’t take much to make a difference in someone’s life. James showed me that extending a helping hand, reaching out to those in need, it’s not just something we do once in a while. It can be a way of life for all of us.

So, let’s remember James. Let’s remember his open heart, his selflessness, and his dedication.

Let’s be inspired by his example, and let kindness be the compass that guides our actions.

Just like James, we too can touch lives, uplift souls, and make the world a little brighter for everyone we meet.
