I’m Jack
of Orange Photography some 20 years ago.
I enjoy integrating my passions across
multiple disciplines and focus on long term
results.
It`s been challenging to put roots down when I feel like I am more often than not travelling for work and etc. Even when I am in town, I am still spreading my time in between various buddhist centers for different reasons but I am thinking by this time next year, I hope to be a bit more grounded. Which is to say, I`ve probably attended Mipham Shedra in Westminster the most in the past year or so. Today was the first big public event I attended for a land blessing that was led by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. After many years of significant obstacles, the center is finally beginning the construction for the expansion of the space, hence the blessing. May the dharma continue to spread for the benefit for all sentient beings!

Normally an opening band is pretty obscure unknown act but @desire_musicofficial put on a delicious set for all the metal heads.
Kudos to @lookatfiona.mp3, @hanapruz and @skullcrusher.online for wonderful intimate evening of indie ballads.
An old college joined me last month for a few days as we enjoyed the biggest state park in california, Anza-Borrego Desert. Weather was just right as any other time of year would be super challenging. Enjoy some nice off roading to get to some of these remote sites and even got the fly the drone while he was driving. On the last day we hike into an true Oasis area and was shock to find that we were the only ones enjoying little pool with breezy palm trees singing in the afternoon.
About 90 mins outside of Las Vega`s is a little disperse camping spot know as steward`s point. I made it my base station (Jan 2025!) as I couldn`t get a campsite in Valley of the Fire State Park. Well, it turn out mighty fine location for my drone shots. Since I got in the late evening, I didn`t get the chance to scout for a more scenic campsite but I am not complaining!

What a joy to intimately study the art of becoming. While their wisdom summons us, it is the noose of their compassion that binds us .
At times I miss the intimacy of photographing at eye level but I must confess, i have been addicted to all the opportunities that the drone has allow for in terms of capturing the beaty of texture and light. i am sure at some point, i will swing back to the intimacy of close up portraits but for now i am letting the grasping run it`s course. just need to refine the intention to be sustainable. although i have been to moab a few times before, this was the first time i got to venture into the backcountry and it`s darn magical.

It`s been about 5 days ago since I returned from my two month tour of the american southwest. The usual routine of doing alot of `productive` things have taken over and in the evenings, I take a break from being productive to look over the photos from the trip. I haven`t had much contemplation time these days but the trip did provide enough unproductive time to narrow the focus of life moving forward. photography will become a hobby again next year was one resolve to create more room for big picture stitching. Meanwhile, my first stop on this trip was Moab, the adventure capital city. I attempted a trial run in the backcountry of moab and failed to my delight. when everything is empty there is nothing to achieve.
