PURPOSE AND AUTHENTICITY
In my 20 years of professional experience, I’ve played many different roles as a business owner, not just a photographer. Whether I am project managing large projects for clients or mentoring employees/other photographers, I understand the importance of working on the ground level but also having clear sense of the big picture.
When you work with me, I am focus on delivering your needs as a client and less about what I want out of the project. Still, I thoroughly enjoy a collaborative process when we share a vision of creating stories that has meaning and purpose.

The last time I visit Indiana Dunes National Park was in early april and i wasn`t particularly impressed at the time. Sandwiched between power plants, the dunes wasn`t all that when i stayed at the state park versus the national park campsites. This time, we were fortunate to get a camping site inside the national park and went to the beaches in the national park. Khenpo La and i were happily please to enjoy the pristine beaches through the day although the morning swims were divine! Khenpo La got a taste of the american camping culture and it was nice to ground our experience with some dharma practice.
O mother of the world, perfect in understanding, Endowed with great compassion,
You arose for the world’s liberation.
You hold a blue lotus in your hand and say, “Fear not! I will protect all beings! I will ferry all beings Across the terrifying ocean of existence!”
O Tara, you are bright, with beautiful eyes, joy of starlight, Full of pity for all beings, savior of all beings; Look down, gaze on all beings as your children. Your body is emerald green, blazing with splendor, invincible.
If one simply remembers your name, you come forth to save from any terror. O mother, savior, protector, remover of every obstacle, Homage to you!

Feeling the energy pull of Green Tara practice more recently as more friends and family swim deeper into ocean of old age and sickness.

I had to chance to witness a family retreat at Thich Nhat Hanh`s retreat center in upstate NY last week and it was just a wonderful treat to capture the wholesome energy of everyone there. There is definitely a part of me that is drawn to the simplicity and depth of Thay`s style of teaching. #buddhism #thichnhathanh #plumvillage
i was planning on doing a retreat at the palyul retreat center in upstate NY but samsara had other plans for me. still, i stop by for a day to see what the vibe was like and it was charming to see families of tibetans and western students practice together. super impressed by the size of retreat center and quality their annual summer teachings. #dharma #vajrayana
as rare as it is to find buddhists willing to to interviewed by me, it is no comparison to the preciousness of this human life. the preciousness comes from our ability to realize and manifest our true potential as sentient beings. likewise, i prostrate to all the outer, inner and secret teachers! #buddha #buddhism #buddhist
decided to do some playful street photography today during my rest day in vegas. there is definitely a technical side to the practice but i think the unexpected compositions is what make it fun. also, playing with film simulation bracketing which is one of the unique features of fujifilm cameras. #streetphotography #fujifilm
MEANING
I choose this symbol as reflection of my aspiration. Wikipedia has numerous interpretations of this symbol and these particular ones best reflect my practice:
- The inseparability of emptiness (shunyata) and dependent origination, the underlying reality of existence.
- The union of wisdom and method.
- Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe.
- The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion.
