The Strangers We Encounter
There are over 8 billion humans on this planet, a staggering number that can feel incomprehensible when you realize how few of them we truly encounter in our lifetimes. Every day, we cross paths with strangers—on streets, in cafés, in fleeting moments at train stations—and yet, only a handful of these encounters become meaningful enough…

Daily Coffee Talk~ 90/365
I have recently started to scan my old negatives and slides from the pre-digital camera time. I remember the times when every frame counted because well, we only had a limited number of frames in the film. I remember the excitement of seeing the images after however time it took to finish the roll, to…

Morning Coffee Talk~45/365
Good Morning, Last night I dreamt of a man walking in the fog and woke up today to find a foggy world around me. But that’s another story. Have you noticed how much time we spend capturing life in our devices without taking the time to feel it, sense it, be with it and understand…

Wanderlust~
How gratifying it is to explore the spinning sphere we call home. Each time I plan a new trip, I feel a bubbling of excitement at the unknown that would undoubtedly meet, the amazing people who cross my path and the images my camera would capture. It is as soul nourishing journey when I am…

Day Three Hundred Fifty Five, January 12, 2012
when you think of something every hour of your day, when you lose sleep for it, when you long to speak of it, when your heart flutters and misses a beat as you think of your passion for it, when you walk in the rain, in the cold and in the desert to be with…

Day Two Hundred Ninety Two, November 10, 2011
It was New Zealand, 1995 when this camera found me on a deserted beach. Since that day I fell in love with the mystery camera and it has been a journey of strong companionship and great mystery. The first trip we took together was to Egypt where I shot 35 rolls of film, a wonderful,…

Day Two Hundred Sixty Nine, October 18, 2011
Living in this giant expanding metropolis, we sometimes forget how impressive its rapid growth is, until someone visits and we play the role of tour guide only to rediscover and be awed again and again by the speed at which the future is catching up with Shanghai. Everywhere you look, new construction sites are mushrooming…

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five, September 14, 2011
When you do something so much, day after day, week after week, you put yourself on its frequency. It is like that with everything isn’t it? Food lovers are drawn to food, drinkers can spot a bar a mile away, smokers can find a cigarette in the most unlikely of places, flirts can sense an…
