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
Sharp as a Marble
So, Sunday I’m sittin in front of my house soakin up the blazing sun while reading a book. It’s nice to stay tan in a city where most daylight hours are spent in non-stop air conditioning. A couple hours roll on by and I figure I should take a shower and be productive. Once I’m under the running water, I realize – shit my soap is all out. I glance in some rarely used shelving to find a brand newRead more
Don't Bump Your Head!
I’m enjoying a 9 day break from work, but this time I’m not going anywhere. I decided that for once I’d sit my ass down in Jakarta for the entire break – relaxing, working out, sitting in the sun on my balcony, reading in coffee shops, and basically doing nothing (think “Office Space”). Sure, I’d love to be in Bali right now – or India like one of my friends – but the fact is I’m not – I’m hereRead more
Dancing with Light
As you may have noticed I’ve been on a bit of a vacation – from the web, from writing, and from creativity. Call it a burnout, laziness, lack of motivation, blogger’s block, or just plain busy. The images above represent a new beginning for some of my photographic goals – to break out of my self-created shell. I need new material, new approaches, and new results. I hope the latest work has shown a change in direction from my usualRead more
Admitting the Truth
I have a confession. I’ve been spending more time on Flickr.com than on my own site. How pathetic am I? I’ve been feeling lately as if my time is being severed minute by minute, into smaller increments – less time online equals more concentrated efforts. Unfortunately I’ve focused on photography more than updating my blog in past weeks. The attraction to flickr is the ability to simply post a picture and move on to other work, whereas this blog demandsRead more
