Trips
I have traveled to almost every continent on the planet. Sometimes for the right reasons, sometimes for the wrong reasons.
Two of my trips I made extensive Image blogs for my friends around the globe. I figured if I were lucky enough to do something or go someplace 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 sometime happy and sometimes dark. All in all I think they showed where my life was at the given time. I am a strange case, just bare with me.
Most of these trips were 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.
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 to 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 dying to do something I had always wanted to do and would never again get the chance. I Quit my job, Packed up my shit, Closed out my 401K, bought a first class euro-rail pass and took the hell off.
