167 | Just Pretty Things :: Hallstatt, Austria, 2016
Hallstatt is a small town in Austria that sits by a gorgeous lake. I saw a photo not too unlike this one on an Instagram account, and made sure our Europe trip included a stop here. It’s not too easy to get here. From Salzburg you have to take the train, make a transfer, and…

167 | Self Portrait :: San Diego, USA, 2016
I’m not much for couple selfies but it was a gorgeous day on the beach and we had a grand time with this.

165 | Self Portrait :: Burning Man, 2015
One of the things I remember from Burning Man is the idea of being far from people. Obviously being in the desert we were far from people in general, but even within the small circles of my camp, I also felt this distance. There’s this feeling of not being able to fully immerse myself in…

164 | Self Portrait :: NYC, USA, 2008
Self portrait from Liberty Island, with New York City in the background. Even though I’ve visited New York before, that was actually the first time I went to Liberty Island, and reflected on the good fortune of my own life that gave me the opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. Little did I know the…

163 | Self Portraits :: Redondo Beach, USA, 2012
Took an impromptu trip to LA one weekend with a girlfriend, and spent some time lying in the sun on Redondo Beach. I’ve been asked why the two of us are good friends. We are quite different, in terms of our priorities, ambitious, personalities. Often it takes me some effort to withhold judgment, and sometimes…

162 | Self Portraits :: Bogota, Colombia, 2015
I love taking reflection photos of myself in museums, especially modern museums. Often times you can get a composition like this one, which seems almost surreal (and quite creepy) in its blend of the art and the viewer.

161 | Self Portrait :: Everest Base Camp, 2014
The view from base camp was gorgeous. The clouds had just cleared so you can actually see the peak of Everest. It was hard to garner that feeling of reverence though, given the noisy crowd surrounding me, people clamoring to get close to the weathered and humble sign that said “Mt. Qomolancma Base Camp, Elevation…

160 | Self Portraits :: Shanghai, China, 2014
Getting ready for a friend’s S&M themed birthday party. Behind me are three of my best girlfriends in Shanghai, putting on this look that really wasn’t something we are familiar or comfortable with. In fact, my entire party centric life in Shanghai was something that I wasn’t familiar or comfortable with, but I’m glad I…

159 | Cats :: Santorini, Greece, 2013
This cat hails from a tiny island off of the coast of Santorini. The island was deserted since I was there during off season, and we saw more cats than people. They seemed very comfortable in their environment and watched us with lazy but alert eyes (“don’t mess with me and I won’t mess with…
