Elusive and always behind the camera, this is a rarity. It’s also a weakness for me as I have never focused on doing self-portraits. I suppose the only way to confront your weaknesses is to focus on them. Taken in Singapore, August 2005 with a crap camera and horrible backlighting.Read more

Apple MacBook Pro – Worthy of the "Pro" Designation?
Sure enough, Apple has started rolling out the new Intel powered Macs. I bought a 20″ iMac G5 in July, and decided to sell my laptop in October – finding that, of course, I still have a need for a laptop. My iMac is simply gorgeous and completely satisfies my photographic endeavors – except that I have to work from home. I long for the days of taking my laptop on vacation, to a cafe, back and forth to work,Read more
Gettin Poked
That sounded bad. Sorry. Today I got jabbed with a needle twice – once for the flu vaccine and once for a typhoid update. A doctor from Global Doctors was kind enough to come to work to offer vaccines for whoever wanted them. I know what you’re thinking – the flu vaccine has nothing to do with protecting against avian flu.

In the first hour of using it I was able to find and view (in decent detail) the following: MyRead more
Better Days
It seems life has a way of maintaining the balance… I have a new puppy. Is it cruel to forgo the mourning period? Well, if I didn’t take the puppy the owner was going to put them on the street – and trust me, in Jakarta that’d be a bad thing. He’s probably some kind of Terrier, jet black, pees everywhere, and only about 4 weeks old. I’ll post an image of him as soon as I get around toRead more
R.I.P. Kitten
It was a sad, sad day. Today I had to put my cat to sleep, and she was just a kitten. About two months ago, as I was walking out of work I saw a kitten near our security guard’s desk. I’m a sucker for little animals, so I took the street kitten home. I’ve been watching her grow for the past 8 weeks into a ball of fur and energy. She’s been getting adventurous lately, playing in front ofRead more
