It all started one day strolling the West Lake in Hangzhou. It was raining and cold. The lighting was flat, absolutely uninspiring. I was ready to find a coffeeshop and call it a laptop day — until I remembered a function on my camera I'd never actually tried: Multiple Exposures.

I had no idea what it did, but gave it a go anyway.

Turns out it made me into something of a painter. That day ended up being pretty fruitful after all.

So what did I learn? When inspiration runs dry, there are always tricks up your sleeve you never knew you had — just waiting to be unleashed.
