Navarone Toalepai; The Master and His Daughter ;A photo of my mentor Eti and his young daughter after he graduated with his masters. This photo for me signifies a fathers sacrifice in order to achieve something precious to set an example of excellence and commitment for his daughter. This day brought a lot of joy to my spirit as an undergraduate as I studied many long nights with Eti during the last stages of his masters, I was there during the brief moments where he was unsure and when he celebrated the little wins.. all i can say is that smile is the smile of a conqueror .
Navarone Toalepai; 3 wise men ; Just a photo I took at an event back in 2019 and I happened to see these 3 men from man up with interesting physical characteristics seated at the main stage, at first I was drawn in by their tattoos but as I took the photo, I wondered what kind of stories each inch of ink held.
Navarone Toalepai; Young Simba; This is one of my brother Zuriel (we’re not brothers by blood, we became close friends through uni) always thought he resembled a lion sometimes hes about 6’2 and weighs over 100Kgs.
