… I sometimes run out of creative titles for these pictures.
Have you heard of the famous “Monk Debates”? They are held in Sera Monastery and are both a form of verbal sparing as well as a method for teaching Monks about Buddhism. The basic premise is that one monk asks a questions and the other has a limited amount of time to answer. But it is more lively that than. The monk asking the questions makes martial art-like gestures while the monk sitting on the floor tries to retort before he gets a figurative karate chop to the head. The questions are all relating to the teachings of Buddha and I am sure they are really tough to answer, because this little monk kept making a can-you-repeat-the-question face. It was fun to watch these otherwise, peaceful dudes, let out some steam with all their crazy gestures and yelling.
… I feel your pain little monk, I wouldn’t know the answer to half those questions …

I found my friend, Confucius, pondering the imponderable in the middle of the Cheonggyecheon (청 계천) stream that runs down the middle of Seoul in South Korea. I asked him if he would join me for a pint at the local pub and we proceeded to have a deep philosophical conversation ...
Confucius: Christian, respect yourself and others will respect you.
Christian: What is that supposed to mean, C? Who have you been talking to?
Confucius: What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.
Christian: Who are you calling small? Look in the mirror, my friend, you are about an inch taller than a Care Bear.
Confucius: Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.
Christian: That sounds like a dare. See that angry-looking linebacker by the bar? I am going to challenge him to a thumb war.
Confucius: Christian, he who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
Christian: C, the only thing that is lost are my car keys and the only thing that is in great danger are those buffalo wings if you don't eat them.
Confucius: And remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
Christian: Dude, are you sure you are OK to drive?
Confucius: Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
Christian: The only crime you should be ashamed of is not talking to that lady over at the next table who keeps giving you the "come-hither" look.
Confucius: Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.
Christian: I choose life!
Confucius: It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.
Christian: ... in bed.
Confucius: You're an idiot. I am going back to the stream to continue pondering.
Christian: Naw baby, don't go to sleep angry. Come back.
Confucius is a little feisty, but we are totally BFFs.

I felt a little bad posting this today because I deliberately isolated this little fella from his family for the sake of my selfish artistic vision. He was happily swimming in his circle of safety when all of the sudden he started noticing his wolf pack disappear one by one. At first he thought he must be imagining their absence, but then he actually witnessed his cousin being erased from existence by my Adobe Photoshop eraser. He looked up at me with these big googly-jellyfish-eyes and asked “Why?” I told him that they were still around in another layer but I wanted to focus on him because I thought he had the stuff to be one of the aquarium’s top models. He took some time to consider this and finally said, “You know, ever since Aunt Margaret told me I was the cutest jellyfish she had ever seen, I knew I was destined to be a jelly-model.” We quickly worked out a contract and he happily posed for this picture. He may only be a jelly, but he had some mad negotiating skills. Somehow I owe him an annual stipend of two tons of tuna and 90% of all profits from the sales of his photo …

My trip to the Longsheng region of China was very short, but it left an impression on me. The small mountain town was covered in rain and fog more often than not and it made for some treacherous hiking. There is something about the struggle to achieve that makes it all the more worth it. I spent two full days hiking up and down the various mountains and catching fleeting glimpses of the beautiful rice terraces as the wind swept the fog aside for moments at a time.
One morning, I was making my way up one of the steep, narrow paths when I looked up and saw a donkey blocking the way. He was only a foot from my face and he was just staring at me. I made to pass on the right and he swung his head over and fixed one huge eye on me. Ok, he is definitely staring me down. I tried to explain that is was common courtesy for the person coming down the hill to back up and let the other pass, but he did not understand English. Fine, you stubborn donkey, I will move out of your way. When I turned around to make my way back down, I saw this rice farmer plowing the field. I liked the way he was looking out into the distance and how the the rain drops falling off his jacket were catching the light. If it hadn’t been for that stubborn donkey, I would have missed this cool moment.

About This Collection
This collection of photographs was the result of a happy mistake while walking through the Hakone Garden’s bamboo forest in Saratoga. I was messing around with my camera on manual mode, trying different angles and motions when I noticed the resulting images resembled impressionist paintings. I liked how the bamboo forest was implied though color, light and movement, so I sat there for a while and tried different things until I got the look I wanted. All of these photographs are single shots with very minor adjustments in Photoshop.
I decided to take these because i've been having a tough time lately, and i wanted to depict my state through photos. I probably took them around 1am - 3am

This is one of the most interesting Cathedrals I have found in the Bay Area. It sits on top of a hill in San Francisco and overlooks the city. One of my favorite things about this Cathedral is it's ceiling. It is intricate and geometric and it seems to take on a fluid property as you move about the church. There are so many interesting things to see in here that I ended up spending almost an hour photographing unimpeded. It felt like a little safe-haven.

It was my second day in the mountain village of Dazhai and I had very quickly gotten used to randomly walking into houses with none of the usual pesky repercussions (such as being thrown in jail or chased away with a cleaver). This particular house was owned by the Tofu Man. When my guide, Bart, and I walked in we just made our way through the massive three-story wooden house into one of the smaller rooms where Tofu Man was already hard at work cooking the tofu.
He had been expecting us, and when we entered the steam-filled room, he beckoned us to sit down on the tiny wooden stools next to the little fire pit. I sat down and he looked at me with all seriousness and suddenly burst out a mad cackle before going back to work. The light from the fire danced on his face as he intently stirred the pot, looking like a mad scientist working on his Franken-fu. When he was done cooking, he took the pot into another room and poured the content into a large white mesh and hand-strained the water out of the tofu until it was a solid white mass. When it was all done, he produced a bowl out of one of his pockets, looked at it inquisitively and decided it was clean enough for this interloper and served me up some yummy tofu. Mmmm.
Mono no aware (in japanese, literally "the pathos of things"), also translated as "an empathy toward things," or "a sensitivity of ephemera," is a Japanese term used to describe the awareness of mujo or the transience of things and a bittersweet sadness at their passing. The term was coined in the eighteenth century by the Edo period Japanese cultural scholar Motoori Norinaga.
bob came visit tonite. he just got back from his week plus long trip to paris and london.
surprise! bob came with his two hundred watt italian made pathos amplifier and a bottle of red wine. he said he wanted me to hear it. the wine was just to amplify the enjoyment.
so i obliged. i plugged it into my system that consists of a fine chinese made consonance cd player. a pair of british made pmc gb one speakers and a full set of sines cables from hong kong.
it sounds great. much better than my al-cheapo twenty five watt chinese made valve amp. al-cheapo it is but it appeals well to my ears.
then i realised..it has been months since i last played anything on my audio system. the egg crates that used to plaster all over my music room had recently been taken down. i stacked them up and they have now become a side table. and the foam at the transmission line outlet of my gb one has also disintegrated so badly it had been taken out without my knowledge.
it is time to do something about it.

Heeey, Stanford. I was visiting and I noticed that your tower is not as tall as Berkeley’s. That’s cool …
Another generic postcard, this time with maybe a bit too much pathos ?!
Alnmouth's beach has been described as being in three sections -- the main beach (north of the river mouth) that stretches up to the Marden Rocks.
North of these Rocks the beach goes on up to Seaton Point.
However to the south of the mouth of the River Aln is the wild beach that stretches all the way down to Warkworth -- a magnificent walk and best accessed by heading south from the Hipsburn roundabout.

I came across this bike in the middle of an alley in Shanghai. I looked around and wondered why its owner had left it unattended in such an obviously visible place. There can only be one explanation: this was a trap meant to lure unsuspecting pedestrians with the promise of a quick ride home. No doubt there was a Wing Chung master lying in wait, ready to decent upon the poor transgressor and dispense swift street justice. Well, lucky for me I had a ride. I wouldn't want to tangle with Mr. Fists of Fury.
