5 portraits from Shanghai

What fascinates me so much about people? I think it is what they can teach me. I am forever curious about how human society operates, about their motives, their way of thought. There will never be an index to fully map human characteristics, the nuances are just never ending. I think that is why I photograph people, I am curious to see what they are thinking and try to freeze them in the most ideal state. I am curious about people because I am really curious about myself. I question myself often and perhaps these reflections I see everyday will one day shine light on who I am.

2011 Retrospective: Between Here & There

Here is a loose collection of what I experienced in 2011. It was filled with exciting trips to NY and SF. I made new friendships, rekindled old ones, ate disgustingly good food, camped, explored, and all in all grew a whole lot. Here's to looking forward to what I will cultivate in 2012.

All shot on film. In between: Death Valley, San Francisco, New York City, Costa Mesa, Sequoias, Huntington Beach, Anza Borrego, and Pismo Beach.

photo mission: devil's punchbowl

We got our friends together and went on a photo adventure. What I like about photography, is that it gives you an excuse to peruse the land around you. As a photographer, you learn to survey the land in somewhat of a different way. I tend to gravitate towards nuances and appreciate the simple things in life, like rocks.

Couldn't have asked for a better crew to go with. Their posts linked below.

film cameras: nikon f3hp, olympus xa, mamiya 7 (testing).
