Our Story
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~ Mark Twain
Back in 2010, we placed our trust in Mr Twain and decided to explore the world in the little ways that we could, while still going with our 9-5 jobs, EMIs and other stuff.
Shadows Galore is our look at the world, about the places we have seen, the people we have met and the experiences we had, through our eyes… behind the lens …
We hope that you will enjoy this ‘journey’ …
