I’m leaving in a few hours for five days in Bali. Just a short break, but we’ll be busy every moment. I’m bringing a Canon 350D instead of my 5D out of fear, considering there will be many times I’ll have to leave the gear in the hotel (rafting, etc) – a bit of a bummer, but it’s still a great camera. I hope to return with some decent shots from the majestic island. (I have a bit of aRead more

Photography for a good cause
If my photography can, in any way, help others or be a conduit from Indonesia to the world, then I’ll feel as if I’ve accomplished something meaningful. Photography, on its own, is a passion of mine but rather than make money off of selling pretty prints, I feel much more fulfilled if I can somehow give back. I was hoping that my photos of the flooding in Jakarta could help voice how dire the situation was, and to help raiseRead more
Handphones are destroying memories (handphone cameras vs point and shoot cameras)
What a bold statement to make, right? Having lived in Indonesia for half a decade, I’ve witnessed a revolution in handphone/cellphone technology – a revolution which swept across Asia and throughout the world. Upon my arrival, handphones were something you used to call someone with – and that’s about all.

I can’t believe the absurd backgrounds, clutter, and other junk that people put on their profiles BUT who am I to talk? It’s one of the most popular sites on the ‘net. To be honest, even after browsing for people from my high school, university, etc, I still can’t seeRead more
An unprecedented and epic scale monument that's expected to take the next three decades and as much as $1 billion to complete – all to keep future generations "out".

Small Exhibition
I’ve been ridiculously busy this week preparing for a small exhibition of my photos taking place this weekend. See, I love traveling, I love taking photos, and I don’t mind the hours of Photoshop spent tweaking each one that makes the ‘cut’. What I don’t enjoy doing is promoting my work. I suck at that. With the help of Novita, Treespotter, Avi, Ian, and a few others, I’ve been getting my butt in gear to finally start making something ofRead more
