Shooting Ofem...
Back in Calabar and it’s a juxta-composition of emotions. A return to the feeling of uncertainty and insecurity and if there’s someone who connects and completely understands this; it’s Ubi Ofem. Ofem is a poet, an artiste in his own right. In a town...

On Photography, Social Media and Sharing
75-80% of the commercial work I do doesn't turn up on social media 40% of the collaborative work I do will never be edited because something I didn't factor in during the shoot renders the pictures "useless". P.S; this is a rant so don't expect a chronological...

The Beauty Sequence; Through his Lens.
Hey Peter, how are you and how's heaven? It's me, Ufana Ishoyor. So, we had our first reunion and it was awesome. You ignited a flame in all of us and now; Your legacies are living a burning trail in Calabar with photos of skylines, lovers before beautiful...

Shooting Otosi...
Asking Otosi to stand on the edge of an unprotected stairwell emphasized the reason health ministry’s advice on protected sex should be adhered to; one mistake and you’d be sulking all your life. More importantly, it was facing my fears. You see, I am...

My Encounter with God.
She told me she found God in the midst of the fellowship brethren and through them her faith had grown and if I tried, I'd find what she's found so I said to her; "You see the little blue bird on that tree, I see God in that beautiful creature". I stopped...

Shooting Victoria...
I am polychromatic. I experience things in full color definition, I see the world and all the little color pecks that switch variations when you throw open and close the window covers in a house. I am ‘photographically’ monochromatic. I love to portray...

The Beauty Sequence; 12/MAC/...
To all 147 of the most annoying yet astonishing people I've met, I say to us all; "We made it", through the turmoils of assignments, storms of exams, winds against progress and now we've come out successful, we are leaders, we are on top... we are #Beautiful....

Peter's Segen.

What is Photography?
Imagine the sun just hovering barely over the horizon, the evening breeze flowing through her free hair, the fragrance of her cologne drifting through the air, her bare feet digging into the sand, a little cunny sly smile on her face and a Canon G16 in...

With a Gentle dash of Lust...
"What I have for you now is a greater love. Last time, there was a sprinkle of lust". I ask myself; Can a love exist between opposite genders without a pixie sprinkle of lust? Hi, It's Ufana Ishoyor. So, we were in love, we separated and now, we tell...

Weird and Proud 2.0
So maybe this world wasn’t made for terrific people like us. We should exist in some astro-physical or psycho-visible existence where inter-dimensional travel is possible and boom tubes could allow me leave school and avoid the current debacle between...

Aly Speaks; Chasing Tiger.
He is everything I never had and all I never knew I needed. Two big eyes, a smart mouth, pointed nose and listening ears. Big head, fascinating brain, black hair and a beautiful mind. Hi, I am in love. I am in love with my million dollar best friend and...

With An Edge; Samsung Does It Best…
So I was surfing the Internet as usual (I’ve been doing that a lot since my school is still striking and the Cross-River State Government isn’t planning on listening to our plea) and I came across was I deem fit to say is the BEST phone created yet… The...

Aly Speaks; My Bane.
We don’t even know what we are doing half the time, just a bunch of frightened children stuck in adult bodies bumbling our way through life, struggling to put a little shine in our very dark existence. It's 8.27 pm and here I am, depressed as fuck. My...

Live Inside the Moment.
Growing up, we were taught to consider every moment, thinking what would happen next with clearful implicated sentences like "one wrong move could cost you your life" and "don't think about today only, what of tomorrow" but the bible that we were brought...

I Stalk my Old Friends...
I made a new friend this year and I said to her; "You know, I love how we can connect. But I have one fear, that one day, we'll stop being friends", Today, we don't talk to each other like before, we stalk—ehm— okay! I do the stalking, but I don't know...

Arbitrio.
Yin and Yang, Good and Evil, everything has an opposite and clearly, we all know there’s a difference between sex and love making. Hi, it’s Ufana Ishoyor , how’s your week? Hope Y’all are good. So basically, we all believe in the existence of a Supreme...

Well, It's a New Year...
Emmm, hey there, it’s Ufana Ishoyor and I know this is coming in late but Happy New Year Y’all. 2015 is gone and 2016 is here, well it’s been here for a while and I’m grateful to God. Starting things off, I’d ask how’s your year been so far, mine’s been...

The Beauty Sequence; J.A.B.I.Z.
It was in 2011 when I bashed your nose with my fist and gave you a rough cut. Two nights later, Rev. Fr. Clement stood before you and inquired into what happened and you looked at me and without a second thought... You lied. You covered for a friend but...

Angels are Demons.
Hey Aly, Babe, I can’t control how long I live but I know I can control how well I live. Life isn’t fair to anyone and we both know that eventualities happen and just in case I leave, I want you to know I absolutely love you. Everyone is good or rather,...

The Beauty Sequence; U.M.A.
Family holds an undisputed spot in our hearts and while there'll always be fights and drama, it'll be them that hold you down when the world shuts it's door in your face. Inside a family, there's that one person that never gives up on you and pushes you...

The Unfolding
There are many pieces to a puzzle and this story is how very many things like puzzle pieces can form a picture so beautiful. It was just another ordinary day and I was wasting away my time on social media because, it was either that or me reading some...

Forever.
Forever was not wanting the new tech conversation she was having with her father to end, cause though she wasn't going to get any, it allowed her the chance to bond all she wanted with the man who raised her. Forever was not wanting the hot, unelectrified...

Our Looking Glass #3
From his perspective* Maybe it was because I was nervous or I was trying to impress her but I know I was well dressed to school that Monday. There was this uneasy feeling that was in the air; "Why had I sent the text?", "What if she says no?" or worse;...

Homeless...
They say home isn't four walls, a shiny chandelier, Italian stained windows and a Russian nuclear proof door. Home isn't the Global Positioned Spot where the 'Leprechauns' buried that pot of gold for if it was; the queue might out 'Trump' that that graced...
