In three months I took over 2700 pictures, 15 of which I consider "the best!" A photographer can truly understand that it takes many pictures of a subject, and to then, only pick one that is awesome! In essence less than 2% of my pictures are here. Some depict feelings of laughter, sadness and wonderment while others provoke outward sighs, smiles, laugther or gasps.
Capturing a moment - through an expression, a scene or a gesture - conveys to the viewer a myriad of thoughts or words. I guess that's why they say "a picture is worth a thousand words." Yes! ONE GREAT PICTURE is worth a thousand words.

Allow me to compare photos with movies. In my opinion, I feel as though a great movie is one that allows one to experience all sorts fo feelings during its running time. Similar to a great film, looking at my photos from my journey in Southeast Asia has allowed me to experience a plethora of feelings!! Yes, it was a memorable, spiritual and emotional journey ... to review it through photography has been incredible!
