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.

Although I wasn`t really in `retreat` mode, the 4 days spent at @serenityridge_retreat_center was rejuvenating. The health and wellness retreat was on the secular side with experts from the western perspective to balance the buddhist underpinning. Rincophe is definitely one of the most progressive teachers I`ve seen in person and his draw is powerful! I wished I had the chance to meet him in person earlier in my journey as the Bon lineage definitely has some practices that I resonate with. #dharma #buddhism
so one of the upside of travelling off peak is being able to land a campsite in a national park without planning months ahead. these are the pictures from around the campsite/town that #watertonlakesnationalpark is in. for the first few days we didn`t realize that we were hearing this nearby waterfall very close to the campsite. jumping into the water went straight into the primal yaw.
after glacier np, we headed up to canada’s waterton national park, right across the border. unfortunately the park had a big burn recently and there was still snow on many trails. still, we found a fairly challenging ‘trail’ that kicked my ass but obviously the views made it worthwhile. even going down was a painful experience as we winged it on this trailless hike. well all the pain made it unforgettable hike as we humbly begged for a ride to our car after doing a hike thru. #watertonlakesnationalpark #hiking
Went to another tibetan retreat center outside of rockville maryland last week. this one had a particularly interesting history as the founding teacher, a western woman, was recognized as an reincarnate by penor rincophe. they had a wonderful park across the street and a good size farm a well. Well worth the visit if you`re in the DC area and need some dharma.
quick trip to dc to photograph amazon web service`s conference for non profits. great to hear inspiring people doing good for the world and using AI to have more impact. pretty productive trip where i got to photograph dr biden, interview wonderful musician and ate some excellent vietnamese food. even went to the vietnam war memorial for the first time and the holocaust museum was also a powerful visit.
Had the pleasure of interviewing @bornimusic today for my project. I barely covered the main talking points after 2 hours and I could have spent another 2 hours with him. What an inspirational dharma brother. It`s been amazing how much i learn hearing practitioner`s journey on the path and I hope that others can benefit from these stories as well. #dharma
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.
