I took this photograph at a Renaissance fair in Oregon. The man "breathing fire" was from Germany and was a completely clumsy and uncoordinated person, except when it came to breathing fire. I took this photo because I found this sport dangerous, intriguing, and totally amazing.
I was extremely lucky to grow up in one of the most beautiful places of California that is largely untouched by mankind. This natural lake, Gumboot Lake, is located about an hour into the hills that surround my town. I took this picture to capture the beauty, peacefulness, and quiet that is so present in these places.
I took this photograph in Kenya, Africa in 2006. I spent two weeks there volunteering at orphanages and on the streets of Nairobi. My last week there, I spent two days in Masai Mara on a safari. I got to see a piece of culture and landscape that was so utterly unknown to me. This tree, a Baobab tree, is very common in Kenya. I took this picture to try and capture a glimpse of my journey and the beautiful vastness of this country.
I took this picture at a monastery. My great uncle has been a Buddhist most of his life and now lives in a community monastery outside of San Rafael. I had the chance to go and explore this establishment. While there I walked past this gate. My great uncle told me that you couldn't pass the gate unless you were going to make a commitment to your religions, such as a vow of silence or fasting. I found it fascinating that people would give up something so crucial to life in respect for their beliefs and this gate was the portal into their passion.
