the love/hate relationship that is…

the Philippines. 
and some thoughts to go along with it….
***
I was greeted by the same loyal, musty goodness that permeates the air in Ninoy Aquino International airport. The one thing missing this time around was the 4 piece band playing some sort of island style music upon arrival… They weren’t there last night and it seemed especially [...]





sweet orderly Japan

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Made it to what is probably my most favorite airport in the world (so far).
I have so many great memories of Japan and Narita has become a regular stop over point for me whenever I am in this part of the world. I love how I know what to expect and how it is the [...]





and so it begins…

Monday, September 29th, 2008

made it here to Portland for the first official leg of my trip. I’m hoping to catch the 2pm flight to Tokyo and connect to the flight to Manila. I’m excited, a little scatter brained, but relaxed and hoping to goodness that I didn’t forget anything too significant.
I intended on spending a bit of time [...]

and some stories to go with them…
Been having a bit of a revival for photos. And over the last few weeks there were some super fun events that I brought the camera to.
Below is my favorite of all of them.

The whole family decided to head out to the Puyallup fair and I saw tons [...]





Not the brightest note to start back on…

I caught this image last week while at my “uncle’s” funeral.

Loy was a close friend of my parents. He came from the same city my dad is from and the city where I was born. For us, they were the closest thing we had to family. Since my parent’s were somewhat pioneers for their families [...]

taking a break is good.
So that’s what  I’m doing. Be back next week with some visual goodies and some stories of what’s been happening in my world.
Oh and I can’t forget about the upcoming trip…
some super good things now and super good things ahead!
Happy Travels…





A LOT of…

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

laughing, and A LOT of simple happiness going on.
The past few days have been about visiting family and friends, eating good food, feeling happy feelings, and seeing new perspectives. Nothing unusually different then the standard operating procedures, but then again, somehow things ARE different.
And while I think that family and friends, good weather (since summer [...]





some randoms…

Monday, September 8th, 2008

not a big fan of my iphone camera, but have been snapping up some point and shoot glances that I thought I would share.
I love how new places refresh your mind and perspectives. For me visiting places that I am not too familiar with can remind me to SEE and be present- And I try [...]





some recent shots, some recent thoughts…

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Wanted to share a few photos that I’ve been going thru. The first set was from the shoot with Amanda the second some unedited snapshots of Elliott. I’ve got a few that I’ve worked on, but since his parents haven’t seen those ones yet, I figured [...]

One of my favorite things to contemplate: Meaning.
With art and creativity I particularly like conveying and practicing multiple meaning/perspectives. It adds depth to a piece of art, it adds significance to an action, it brings direction to whatever particular objective you find yourself focusing on.
I sort all of these multiple meanings in my head by [...]
