So here I am again, after my long hiatus. Where I came from I don't know. Where I'm going I don't know. So much has happened since my last entry. Many places traveled, sights seen, photos taken. Yet through it all, I find no satisfaction nor do I feel content.

I am still searching for my self, my art, my expression. (and at times, my mind). Please do notify me if you happen to find any of the above.

It is currently 11:20 PM Sunday, Nov. 27th, and I have been in Taiwan for over 5 days now, with another day and a half left to go. To be honest, my views of Taiwan have changed since I was last here. Taiwan used to just be the place everyone went to during summer vacation with their families, ruining many a perfectly planned "fun" summer with friends.

I don't really see things that way anymore. Maybe because I no longer have a summer vacation to have ruined. Or maybe because when one voluntarily agrees to go somewhere and do things for their own pleasure, it's not half as bad.

In 5 days I have shot over 500 digital stills with my camera, as well as a roll and a half of 35mm film. Not bad, considering I was conservative in what I photographed, how many times I photographed the same subject, and how much freaking gear I had strapped to me the whole time. I'd say 90% of the shots are pretty good, so this is an incredible number of pictures for me to sort through.

Look for deviations soon, or go to my flickr page HERE for a complete photo documentary of my trip.

Personal quote for the trip: Never hesitate in what you are doing or you'll regret it later.

Work has been, blah. Life has been, blah. So until time and inspiration allow, I'm just going to sift through the archives of stuff I never got around to posting. Hope you all like them.

After a looong time away from DA, I've finally found time to post photographs again...and have realized I need to go out and take more pictures. er, I *should,* considering how much cash I've dropped for equipment. I feel inspiration coming on slowly, and inspiration isn't something that happens to me often. Better make the best of it. Pictures anyone?

So this week marks a new chapter in life...I finally have a production to call my own. My title is true, and my work will never end. "Director, Producer, Cinematographer." sounds nice.

Principal photography begins Monday, August 8th. I'm excited, exhuasted, happy, and sad all at once. It's in these uncertain and stressful times that the lines between true friendships, dedication, and commitment come out. Just try something like this and see who really sticks by your side.

I stick to my original quote: "To pursue film is to alienate all else."
