Clean Interactive Design and Kick-Ass Photography.

Collection of loose leaf photos from Arizona to Colorado. Road trip is always fun with a camera.

The first night it rained heavily in Page, Arizona. Once it passed the landscape revealed a different textures, aspects, and motions. It’s humbling to have observed the rare instance of it.

When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know.

Photography some times feels like a fools errand–trying to capture infinity with a finite tool. The psyche of the landscape was so dynamic filled with unimaginable textures, unheard of colors, and irresistible contour. I picked up some earth sample and rubbed it on my hands, smelled it, and I melted for I felt molecularly connected.

Going through Lower Antelope feels like flowing through her hair–the waves, lines, and color.

Driving through New Mexico was curiously beautiful. During our trip we experienced wide range of weather from eerie ice storm to Martini dry weather. Of all the places we loved exploring Petroglyph National MonumentM in Albuquerque. The hike was seamless, quiet, and filled with petroglyphs!

When I lived in Page, Arizona there was this one spot I loved going after work. The locals called in Beer Can Hill or . There I would go for long walks in solitude, ponder about many things, wrap myself in its silence, and keep on walking–sometimes at hours at end. Also, when I had to make a call that spot had the best cell reception. I called this rock my communication rock, allowed me to connect to the external world as well as my internal. I sincerely miss taking my evening stroll there.

Sometimes a cancelation is a direction to an unexpected surprise. This morning a photo shoot got cancelled and I decided to clean a bit. During the process I found a SM card tumbling in my old bag. When I downloaded the content, it was some of my photos from Berlin–it brought a sadden smile to my face.

Five awesome days in Berlin. The food, the people, the arts, and the amazing recycling program. Plus an an infrastructure dedicated to bicycles! Herzlichen dank Berlin for the wonderful time, if I were to pick a city to move to it will be Berlin. I can imagine myself working, living, and contributing to the society here.

I <3 Berlin. Everything form the simplest things has been a joy such as clear taste of tap water, delicate delight of coffee, and the food–yum! Cost of socializing is affordable. We’ve been going out, eating out, and drinking out for three days thus far spent about 120 Euros for two people.

Just as I walked out of the Mount Royale metro station in Montreal, I was instantly drawn to an addictive rhythm accompanied by an impressive guitar rift. They are the CheeseCake Ninja. The drum set was made from big cans and a high hat, but had the rhythm to call down the thunder. And the guitarist was flying all around the area like a grasshopper butterfly! Next time I’m in Montreal, I want to find them and hear them play again.

While walking around Montreal, the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was for a city of this caliber.I could still hear manmade noises all around, but it was only ambient rather than in your face like an infomercial. The sound of the French language was deeply welcoming, like breakfast after a long sleep. Metaphysically, I could smell history in the brick and mortar in Old Montreal.
