I have traveled to almost every continent on the planet. Sometimes for the right reasons, sometimes for the wrong reasons.


During two of my trips I made extensive image blogs for my friends around the globe. I figured that if I was lucky enough to do something or to go some place amazing, that I would do my best to share it. While this was a time consuming process, it was a lot of fun and I think people liked it. Along with the images came thoughts from my time at any one given place. These thoughts were sometimes happy and sometimes dark. All in all, I think they showed where my life was at the time. I am a strange case, just bear with me.


Most of these trips were made possible because a close friend, An-My Le, is a very active large-format photographer. Some of her trips can be long and require the help of muscle and an extra set of hands. qqqqq



2004: Europe by train and foot

In 2004, I was working for a company and had gone off to NYC. While I was in NYC I was working too hard and not getting the communication I wanted from the uppers in the company. Lets just say things were not going that well. At the same time, I had just gotten out of a ringer of a relationship and I was dying to do something I had always wanted to do but would never again get the chance to. I quit my job, packed up my shit, closed out my 401K, bought a first class Eurail pass and took the hell off.
