Smile & Laugh with Me

Journey of a FIlm-maker/Photographer... Hi, I'm Toyin. Director/Photographer based in London. Constantly striving to enhance my story telling and editing techniques. This is basically and outlet for me. A lot of times I am guilt of being too serious but I really just want to have fun var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-20238996-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Learning a New Language

Learning a New Language

A new chapter of my life. A decade from now, I honestly believe, the number of languages a person speaks will be treasured by a variety of people. Not only in the work environment but also in our private lives. At the moment, I only speak English and I am determined to make a change.   Learning Spanish will give me an opportunity to understand a new culture, meet new people and immerse myself in…

App of The Week | Snorelab

App of The Week | Snorelab

I love my wife! However… If I had to sleep next to me, every night, it would be a very painful experience.

Snorelab is an amazing app which I found a few nights ago when search for an app linked with snoring. This…

We exchanged a few words and that got me thinking about how music is advertised.
