This image is a winner in Project Imagination, a contest by Canon and Ron Howard: VIEW HERE! Winning means this image will inspire a movie, and I'll get to meet the celebrities involved in the project. I really appreciate your support that enabled me to reach this great achievement!

The models in this breathtaking scene are Peter and Whitney - both incredibly talented photographers as well! I am in Vancouver BC, and have been living a literal dream over the past weeks roadtripping across America and Canada. I have seen many wonders and captured so much beauty, and more importantly gained incredible friends that I will certainly miss until we meet again. Too much to even edit right now, but be looking forward to a lot of new stuff trickling in over the next months!

GENERALE

   

Aquarius for renquedochan (January 20- February 18)

 

Your IQ has crept up beyond its usual level, and may ascend even higher in the coming days. I suspect you're poised to erupt with a host of sharp insights, and maybe some brilliant analyses or strokes of genius as well. Why? How? It may have to do with the way the planets are massaging your brain chemistry. Or perhaps it's because you smell freedom, and your libido is boosting your intelligence with the enhancements that only the onset of exhilaration can provide. I recommend that you milk this gift for all it's worth. Don't waste time on trivial conquests like polishing off crossword puzzles or acing online personality tests. Try to solve the mystery of the ages, or at least your two knottiest problems.

  

Settimana dal 3 al 9 aprile

 

Ariete (21 marzo - 19 aprile)

I fulmini viaggiano a otto chilometri all'ora. I superfulmini, invece, sono centinaia di volte più grandi e raggiungono velocità superiori ai 150 chilometri orari. Nelle prossime settimane, Ariete, la tua potenza potrebbe somigliare a quella dei superfulmini. Ti consiglio di approfittarne. Diffonderai più luce e attirerai l'attenzione più del solito.

 

Toro (20 aprile - 20 maggio)

Quando avevo 19 anni mi sono iscritto al corso di sopravvivenza Outward bound, che avrebbe dovuto farmi diventare un vero uomo. In pieno inverno, per 24 giorni, io e il mio gruppo abbiamo attraversato le White mountains nel New Hampshire passando la notte in tenda. Verso la fine del corso ognuno di noi doveva stare da solo per tre giorni con tre oggetti a disposizione: un sacco a pelo, un'incerata per ripararsi e una scatoletta con carne macinata, uvetta, mele disidratate, scorza di limone, cannella, noce moscata e chiodi di garofano. In quelle 72 ore difficili ma illuminanti, mentre tremavo dalla paura e cantavo ad alta voce per scacciare i pensieri più spaventosi, ho cominciato ad apprezzare quel cibo dal sapore strano. Mi ha aiutato a mantenere le forze e a restare con i piedi per terra. Per prepararti al tuo rito di iniziazione, Toro, ti consiglio di procurarti l'equivalente metaforico di quella scatoletta.

 

Gemelli (21 maggio - 20 giugno)

Secondo il tabloid britannico The Daily Mirror, il ranger Alex Larenty ha dimostrato che i suoi animali si fidano di lui completamente. Ha preso un leone maschio adulto di nome Jamu, gli ha afferrato i testicoli e li ha tenuti in mano per un po'. L'animale non si è ribellato. Ti invito a tentare l'equivalente metaforico di questa prova di coraggio, Gemelli. Secondo la mia lettura dei presagi astrali, in questo momento puoi giocare con il fuoco, e intendo "giocare" in tutti i sensi.

 

Cancro (21 giugno - 22 luglio)

Nel libro Quando accade l'impossibile, lo psichiatra d'origine ceca Stanislav Grof racconta di un uomo di nome Kurt che quand'era senza problemi e avversari da combattere si sentiva infelice. Le difficoltà gli davano la carica, e se non c'erano ne sentiva la mancanza. In questo momento, Cancerino, sei in grado di esprimere una versione più moderata di questa capacità. Intendo dire che potrai divertirti e perfino commuoverti nell'affrontare i dilemmi, senza per questo lasciarti ossessionare. Potrai affrontare delle sfide che ti costringono a diventare più intelligente, senza aggrapparti a loro disperatamente.

 

Leone (23 luglio - 22 agosto)

Al filosofo britannico Bertrand Russell non interessava "la volontà di credere", ma "la volontà di scoprire, che è esattamente l'opposto". Il tuo compito, Leone, è avere lo stesso atteggiamento. Consideralo un esperimento divertente. Per qualche giorno, evita le conclusioni affrettate e valuta con scetticismo tutte le teorie sul perché le cose sono come sono. Non aggrapparti a nessuna ideologia. Anzi, lasciati prendere dalla voglia di scoprire la verità, senza pensare alle conseguenze e anche se questo sembra contraddire le tue regole di vita.

 

Vergine (23 agosto - 22 settembre)

In altre occasioni ti incoraggerò a migliorare i rapporti con il bambino, lo scalatore e il serpente che sono in te. Ma non ora. Questa volta vorrei che passassi un po' di tempo con l'anziano che è in te. Hai bisogno dell'influenza della parte di te più vecchia e saggia, che se ne frega dello status sociale, dei drammi sentimentali e delle ossessioni passeggere, ma a cui importa tutto ciò che genera comprensione profonda e amore, e che ti permette di avere un quadro più ampio delle cose. Prova a seguire il mio consiglio, Vergine: usa l'immaginazione per fare un balzo in avanti di molti anni e affidati alla guida della persona energica e matura che un giorno diventerai.

 

Bilancia (23 settembre - 22 ottobre)

Le sirene ti stanno tentando di nuovo. Questa volta ti propongono qualcosa di veramente favoloso e di molto più interessante del solito. Sono dispiaciute per le pubblicità ingannevoli con cui hanno cercato di attirarti le altre volte e vogliono rassicurarti: non ti faranno mai più scherzi del genere. Sei pronto a dargli un'altra possibilità? Non chiedere a me come comportarti: ti sto solo illustrando la situazione. Tra l'altro, hai proprio bisogno di mettere alla prova la tua capacità di giudizio. Ah, dimenticavo: per dimostrare la loro buona fede, le sirene ti offrono gratis il loro primo canto e la loro prima danza.

 

Scorpione (23 ottobre - 21 novembre)

La prossima settimana dovresti affrontare tre prove tra le più difficili che un essere umano possa tentare. In questo momento disponi di capacità straordinarie, e se avrai coraggio probabilmente riceverai un aiuto inaspettato. Le tre prove sono: 1) interrompere e cancellare i flussi di pensiero negativo che scorrono nel tuo cervello; 2) trovare soluzioni parziali a problemi complessi o, in altre parole, fare metà della cosa giusta quando è impossibile farla tutta; 3) capire che per liberarti da uno strano karma che dura da un po' devi accettare la situazione così com'è, riconoscere il ruolo che hai avuto nel prolungarla, ed essere riconoscente per tutto quello che ti ha insegnato.

 

Sagittario (22 novembre - 21 dicembre)

Alcune aziende giapponesi concedono ai loro impiegati tre giorni di ferie all'anno "per problemi di cuore". I dipendenti possono usare questo tempo per riprendersi da una brutta esperienza o da una crisi sentimentale. Se fosse per me, tutte le aziende del mondo dovrebbero concedere ogni anno ai loro dipendenti dieci giorni di ferie "per gioie del cuore" da usare nei momenti di grande felicità. Se questa norma fosse già in vigore, Sagittario, scommetto che nei prossimi giorni chiederesti qualcuno di quei giorni di vacanza.

 

Capricorno (22 dicembre - 19 gennaio)

Il tuo simbolo di questa settimana è la fossa delle Marianne, il punto più basso della Terra. Quest'abisso nell'oceano Pacifico è profondo undici chilometri: più di quanto è alto il monte Everest. Ho scelto questo luogo per spingere la tua fantasia a esplorare le profondità più estreme. I prossimi giorni saranno perfetti per conoscere meglio tutto ciò che sta alla base del tuo mondo.

 

Acquario (20 gennaio - 18 febbraio)

Il tuo quoziente di intelligenza è aumentato, e nei prossimi giorni potrebbe diventare ancora più alto. Mi aspetto da te un'esplosione di intuizioni acute, analisi brillanti e forse anche qualche colpo di genio. Perché? Forse i pianeti stanno manipolando la chimica del tuo cervello. O forse stai annusando l'odore della libertà, e la libido potenzia la tua intelligenza con mezzi che solo l'euforia ti può dare. Ti consiglio di sfruttare al massimo questa capacità. Non sprecare tempo con passatempi banali come i cruciverba o i test della personalità che trovi su internet. Cerca di risolvere i misteri della vita, o almeno due dei tuoi problemi più complicati.

 

Pesci (19 febbraio - 20 marzo)

"È vero, canto ai miei semi", ammette l'esperta di giardinaggio Leslie Gaydos. "Che c'è di strano?". Anche se lei sembra sulla difensiva, tu non dovrai scusarti se tratti i semi non ancora germogliati come degli esseri coscienti. Dedicagli delle serenate. Inondali di tenerezza. Riversa su di loro il tuo amore intelligente. Non importa se sono piante vere o metaforiche, ma parlaci con dolcezza per guidarle verso la prossima fase della loro crescita.

Day 5 of my roadtrip from Minneapolis to the Redwoods with my good friend Emily.

 

I'll probably take this down to put up a better version, but this is straight out of camera, no edits whatsoever. The light was good to me that morning. Very good.

Spent an icy cold morning exploring my "backyard" with one of my favourite people, Peter Jamus! After the last couple months of down-time and constantly editing photos from throughout the earlier part of the year, it feels so refreshing this week to get out exploring with friends again and taking new photos! :)

I have had the extreme pleasure of having (or tolerating...heh) this kid, Peter Jamus, staying with my family for the past month. Adventures were had, friendships were strengthened, conversations were conversed (deep and light alike), jokes were shared, unfortunate moon sightings were seen, forests and cities were explored, creativity was inspired... Perhaps one of my favourite memories from this month was the night this photo was taken. My family and I had driven down to Portland to drop off Peter for the next part of his life adventures. We spent our last evening together watching the sunset (pictured here), ate a delicious meal in the park, and then stayed up nearly all night on Ben's balcony where we all had what I would call one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever been a part of. On the drive home the next day, I was left feeling extremely blessed to call these people some of my greatest friends. Peter, you are family to us now, and I'm so excited to see where your life takes you (and Canada better be a frequent part of it)!

[I spent less than 24 hours in Canada recently, during which time I gallivanted in the forest with my wonderful friends Peter Jamus, Elizabeth Gadd, and Rob Woodcox. Thank you, Lizzy, for being such a wonderful model for me, and thank you, Rob, for helping with the crown.]

Ibanscapes: Transcending Ajat features 7 choreographies by Andrew Igai Jamu, Mohd. Hafzal Aziz, Albert Sigan Saliman, and Ramles Radin Suradi. These works are derived from and inspired by the Ajat dance of the Iban people (Borneo), exploring the central question: “What is the Ajat of tomorrow?”

Jamu 2023 by Faculty of Dance, ASWARA. Choreographer; Kishore Krishnan

Jamu is traditional medicine in Indonesia. It is predominantly herbal medicine made from natural materials, such as parts of plants such as roots, leaves and bark, and fruit. There is also material from the bodies of animals, such as bile of goat or alligator used.

In many large cities jamu herbal medicine is sold on the street by hawkers carry a refreshing drink, usually bitter but sweetened with honey.

Oh goodness, where to even begin! The last month has literally been the most jam-packed, yet life changing month of my life. I have seen all my friends put their talents together for an amazing cause, which is going to surface in February- an amazing opportunity for me to use my art for the good of others. I have finally been reunited with my friends from all over the world at the L.A. Flickr Gathering, hosted by the inspiring and selfless David Talley (to see images from everyone at the gathering, check out this group: LAFG 2013. I have seen so many places I have always wanted to see and met so many incredibly talented individuals. I am now at a place of reflection for the next few days where I literally feel like a shipwrecked lover. So much has happened in such a short time that I've been left spinning, clinging to those around me with a heavy heart, wondering how so much good could happen to me, while so much tragedy exists in the world. I truly feel blessed beyond my years, and cannot wait to see where the next year takes me and all of my friends.

 

Modeling here with me, is my good friend Sarah Loreth. Please be sure to give her page a look, as well as the people who helped make this photo possible below:

This was shot a little over a week ago at a stunning location in southern Washington. I spent three hours there taking in the surroundings alongside my wonderful adventure friends Rob Woodcox, Peter Jamus, and Chris Ebarb. It's amazing to me that no matter how many places I travel and things I see, nature is the one thing that always leaves me breathless.

 

Keep an eye out on Peter Jamus's stream and Chris Ebarb's as well for postings from this day!]

I am very often referred to as child like, and I think every time I hear that its my favorite compliment! I believe one of the best ways to lead a more fulfilling life is to maintain a sense of spirit that reflects your inner child. I've found from working with children that they tend to be wise simply because of the fact that their heads aren't filled with too much information; the more we worry and stress and cram unnecessary information into our heads, the more life seems to be bogged down and sad. I had a thought that perhaps if we allowed are hearts to me more open and malleable, less resistant to change, perhaps we could more easily reach our dreams and live satisfied; perhaps we need cardboard hearts.

 

I created this image as the start of a small series that confronts people of different ages living simply and dreaming within the exact moment they're in. By using simple cardboard cutouts and simple spaces, I want to portray a dreamlike atmosphere despite simple surroundings; these atmospheres will reflect the emotions and spirits of the individuals standing amidst. I'm excited to share more of these creations with you!

About 1 and a half weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the delightful Emerald Shatto in Portland (where else?) with Lizzy, Esther, Peter Jamus and the rest of the Gaddmobile. As lovely as she is talented, I finally got to meet Emerald after about a year; she was one of my first friends on Flickr. :)

 

We took this very spontaneously at the Rose Gardens and I quite like it. :)

Sepepat (Firefly) is considered sacred in the Iban culture and its motifs are often woven into Pua Kumba, the ritual cloth. This choreograophy explores the firefly's characteristic, evoking fading childhood memories of its presence on the tanju (verandah) during dusk. Blending ballet and ajst forms, this piece captures the essence of this luminous insect and its cultural significance.

Photo 4 for Stories Worth Telling. Shooting at this location was such a blast! I felt like I was entering a fiction novel, like the Boxcar Kids books I read when I was a kid. This took place on my roadtrip to California back in December, and it was an honor to shoot alongside my talented friends Jennifer Ilene, Peter Jamus, Sarah Loreth and Shane Black! A huge thank you to these brave little models- it was cold and getting dark when we shot this! I'll be sharing another really cool shot or two from this location!

I am at a meetup in Vancouver, Canada, with some of my absolute favorite photographers, and I am having so much fun! It was a beautiful train ride all the way across the country to Canada, and Vancouver has amazed me so much already with its beauty. Having good friends around is a great plus too ;)

At the meetup so far are Elizabeth Gadd (we're staying at her house), Emmy.Leah, Grace and Austin Adams, Gurbir Grewal, Lizzy's sister Esther, and of course, me :) Soon to be joining us are Joel Robison, Rob Woodcox and his girlfriend Casey, Peter Flash Jamus, and many more!

I will be posting more photos along the journey, so keep an eye out :)\

 

Listen and watch because I saw and heard this in person last night and it was wonderful :)

I thought of doing a shot with a boat for the theme of adventure because when I think of adventure, traveling comes into mind and boats were one of the most used mode of transportation during the early days from expeditions and voyagers that discovered many places.

 

Holding a torch was so much fun! I woke up really early to get the tones and color everything right. So hard to get this shot though!

 

Inspired by the amazing Peter Jamus
