I keep my Facebook page more updated than Flickr. Please like my page to follow me there.

I'm from Wisconsin, USA but have been living in Hong Kong for the past five years. When I have the time, I like to travel around Asia. Normally I bring my camera and take lots of pictures of the places I go.

My best pictures are a result of being at interesting places when interesting things are happening. It's why my photography website used to be called "It's a good time to explore".

ßang says:

"Sam has an inert ability to be able to consistently capture the most wonderful and evocative images. His best in my opinion are that of everyday life, making the ordinary look captivating."

Edson_Matthews says:

"Sam takes all the photos I want to take. He travels to and takes pictures in all the places I want to take pictures. He has an eye for culture that I want to have. His set from North Korea has got to be one of the coolest sets on all of Flickr. He's a tremendous talent and a humble guy to boot.

I don't like Sam very much. I'm thinking of offing him and stealing his identity, life, and Flickr account."
