with all the traveling I do, its funny to me to think that there are still times that I just need to get away.
Now I’m talking about the kind of getting away that doesn’t include strategically looking at a map; it doesn’t include preparing for what looms around the foreign street corner, nor does it [...]
Today, I really liked how my hair settled. I liked the work outfit I decided on. And I liked the winter coat (I designed it and had it made!) that was to keep me warm, the scarf wrapped around my neck, my check charcoal cabbie hat.
It was one of [...]
spending the evening with Brianne in sushiland completely full and having spent less than $10! (that includes beer!)
definitely something to be thankful for….
Happy Travels…
I’m finally getting back into the groove of thingsafter a couple of weeks of being back home. I’ve been feeling a little bit reclusive and am spending a healthy amount of time working on a bunch of creative projects. From silk screening some tee shirts to little character sketches it’s all fun and completely gratifying [...]
once I finally made it to Manila, I was pretty jet lagged and beat. I began to feel that I needed a break from my camera. And having made a visit there just 6 months ago, I ended up enjoying time with family and took fewer pictures.
However the few images I did ended up capturing [...]
this story starts back in September when some of you may remember my: visit to Eugene to hang out with The Edward’s gang
Everyone had pretty much found something to take home and I

Shavan was the tailor that we ran into at a small market on our last evening in Luxor. The market was fairly new and clean, but in the middle of it, existed this incredibly small space, where Shavan had obviously spent quite a few years.
I have a respect for old men who work hard and [...]
After a big trip one always needs a little downtime to re-acclimate and to sort thru all the things that were experienced (oh and to get over Jet-Lag too!). A lot of this downtime for me, is to allow myself to go over the little stories and experiences that didn’t necessarily make themselves obvious to [...]

Flight loads were bad for the non-stop from Japan to Seattle so I opted for the flight into Portland. It added another hour to the whole process but at [...]
one more leg and I’ve officially circumnavigated the globe!
Made it to Japan (oh sweet, orderly, clean and technologically savvy Japan!) and I’m celebrating the last leg of the round-the-world-trip with the best goodies (as you can see some are already missing) I’ve seen in a club lounge yet: sushi, spring rolls, little sandwhiches and of [...]
