this was taken during my trip to cambodia in 2007. angkor wat was on the to see list so there i was. amazed. awestruck. for the first minutes i was close to the wat, i couldn’t even think straight. people were fearless climbing up those steps. men carrying babies on their heads, women carrying multiple bags. i about had a panic attack climbing down!

so this is my first step onto the infamous tumblr site…. didn’t think i’d venture out further than the perimeters of facebook, myspace, and flickr, but here i am! 

first of all, let me just get this straight; i’m not much of a “blogger,” so don’t wait around for my deepest thoughts and feelings from the day. i think i’m just going to use this site to personally reflect on my photography. photography has always been a huge part of my life and i hope it continues to be that way. i’ve traveled to the majority of the continents of this beautiful earth and to more than twenty five countries. i really do hope to travel to “almost” every country on the planet (yes, i really am going to do it… i’m not just feeding you bullshit) with antarctica definitely being at the top of the list, seriously. 

i love journalistic photography, concert photography, event photography, portrait photography, landscape photography… yea, basically ALL kinds. 

one wish that i do hope for is that my photography inspires others in their creativity. there are so many ways to express ones’ creativity that i really hope that people take advantage of it. 

so here goes, enjoy :).

the first photo i have here is one from an orchid farm in chiang mai, thailand. i was shooting black and white Ilford 400 ISO film back then (2006, i think?). oh how i miss the days of film and developing everything myself in my retro darkroom *sigh.*
