Bali Rice Field Tower

This is a photo from when I was in one of the rice fields of Bali. I don’t know about you, but this shot reminds me of old Chuck Norris movies. Missing in Action or something. They loved blowing these things up with grenade launchers.
I Heart Shanghai

I took this photo a little over a month ago in Shanghai when it was raining. It’s a pretty cool city, but I was sketched out when they wanted my passport number so they could use the hotel’s Internet. Besides that, the food is great, and people seem friendly despite the cultural differences in public…
Looking Down the Grand Canyon

This photo was taken from Mather Point, looking down at the Colorado River as it continues cutting its way through the Grand Canyon. To process this HDR photo, I used a different method than usual. I did something called exposure fusion. It’s a setting in Photomatix that blends the colors differently. It seems to work…
Path to Sari Organik

In Bali, Indonesia, there’s a famous cafe called Sari Organik that serves all organic food grown on-site. To reach it, you need to hike 20-30 minutes through picturesque rice fields. Along the way, I stopped several times to take photos. While many people rent scooters to get there, I prefer walking to fully enjoy the…
Temple in the Trees

This photo was taken at Miyajima, Japan, showcasing one of the island’s many temples. Miyajima features a mix of Buddhist and Shinto shrines and temples. I processed this photo using a technique that blends photography with various textures, giving it a more painterly feel.
Walt Disney Concert Hall

Designed by Frank Gehry, the Walt Disney Concert Hall was built in 1999 in downtown Los Angeles. I always thought it was near Disneyland, so I was surprised to find it downtown. Last night, during Christmas, my wife and I drove there and took some photos. It’s best to avoid downtown on regular workdays, especially…
Tanah Lot Temple of Bali

Indonesia is often called the land of 1000 temples, and it’s easy to see why once you visit. Temples are everywhere! This photo captures the famous Tanah Lot Temple in Bali. It’s a stunning spot, and there’s a little restaurant just out of frame to the left where we enjoyed some drinks and food while…
Shanghai Lights

Shanghai, China, is a pretty awesome place. I wasn’t expecting it to be as cool as it was. The whole time I was there, I couldn’t stop thinking about how it reminded me of Blade Runner. It was pouring rain the whole time, causing the wet streets to reflect all the neon Congee signs, which…
The Rolling Rice Fields of Bali

This is taken on the 800-meter hike to the Sari Organik Cafe in the middle of the Rice Fields of Bali. It was quite a hike that I did in sandals, injuring my foot in the process. But it was well worth it. I got many great shots from this hike. It was one of…
Itsukushima Shrine of Miyajima

This is the Itsukushima Shrine of Miyajima, Japan. It’s off the coast of Hiroshima. They built this shrine about 400 years ago, and they built it in the water because they believed the island itself was a god.
