One Year and going strong!

Today, I've been blogging for one year. Hooray! Here a shots from Carbon Market to celebrate!

...And you helped me get here. In this year, there has been an exciting shift between countries and people I have met and become close to. I made a number of goals and reached them: published in magazines, shot for Fashion TV and am working at a film production studio. I also returned to Asia and found I really like it but do miss my Texas roots. I want to thank all my family and other friends that supported me during this very transitional year for me and a strange different thank you goes to those that have made my life a positive (or negative) challenge to overcome. If I didn't have character before, I certainly found it!
Now the next challenge has arisen - finding another job in the next two months. Offers, ideas, and encouragement are very welcome.

This year I was in Texas, New York, Mexico, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia. It would be nice to settle for just a little bit...

Carbon Market

By far, my favorite market in Asia is Carbon Market in Cebu, Philippines. That's really saying a lot after seeing some awesome places in Ha Noi, Danang, Saigon, Phnom Penn, Luang Prabang, Siem Riep, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo. On assignment for Bigfoot Entertainment, I photographed the beautifully grungy market and its people. I'm told it's very dangerous there (especially to go alone as I did this time) but I found most people to be extremely friendly. My latest trip there was for a fashion shoot. More to come. Oh yes.

Sorry, I missed your call.

I spent the last two weeks trekking, kayaking, and biking in Cambodia and Laos. I have been in the fresh air, and away from technology. Now it's back to the daily grind back in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. (Photo above of monks in Phnom Penh, Cambodia)


These two shots remind me of Denis Darzacq's "Falling People".
Photos above and below from Luang Prabang, Laos.


This last shot was taken by Brent Durksen. You really discover how small the world is when you run into people you know in another country - I unexpectedly ran into Brent at this bridge and he was just the man I need to capture an image of myself with the locals.
