arkworld's photostream
|
I was born in Jersey City, NJ. I'm Thai-American, meaning Thai by ethnicity but born in America. From the young age of 4, I was raised in sunny Southern California. I have a wonderful wife named wife and two daughters.
My Equipment:
Nikon D3 (His name is Vader and he's a badass)
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D.
NOTE: Please do not post picture comments or invites on my pictures. It's not that I don't appreciate it, but I'd just rather not get them. If I see them, I generally delete them.
Also, please DO NOT use pictures of my kids on Orkut. Also do not email me asking if you can use them on Orkut or for your "school project". The answer is no. If I get an email from you asking, I will block you without hesitation. Thank you!

"Pete is like a wonderful, bright ray of light. He has an amazing ability of creating friendships ... those who can consider themselves his friend are lucky indeed. He's an inspiration and a wonderful father/husband. I've had the wonderful opportunity to see him with his beautiful family and anyone would be envious of who he is and what he has.
Oh, and he just happens to be a great photographer, a master in photoshop, and extremely funny. Thanks for all you do, Pete. Flickr is lucky to have you."24th April, 2008

"Pete is such a great and funny guy. He is such a great father, he's done such a amazing job raising his 2 beautiful children. I always love seeing their faces on his stream and seeing what kind of crazy picture Pete is going to do with his creative mind.
Thanks for sharing all of your pictures with us. I really enjoy it!"9th April, 2008

"Pete can complete a rubik's cube without cheating (he reckons). Pete can see with the centre of his palms, Pete can capture moods and colours and light and splashes so beautifully. Pete can capture the love he has for his little girls and his bigger girl in every pic he takes of them, he is so proud of them and I love it. Pete can do the splits in mid air. Really, what more do you need?
And so I say hooray for Pete. Hooray, Hooray, Hooray for Pete."23rd June, 2007

"The Force is strong in this one. One of my very most favoritist stops on the Flickrs. Pete almost makes me want to go back to Canon... Can't wait for the book!"

KpucmuHa {Kristina} says:
"I love Pete's wonderful candids and stories of life in an all female household. Since my girls are similar ages to his, I can emphasize, and I am sure my husband even more so.
What I really look forward to every day are the new installments of the 365 series. They have become a tour de force pop culture review. They are witty, creative, and show great mastery of Photoshop (which Pete is willing to share, bless his soul). When he was on Day 30, I thought, "How could he top this?" He is now on Day 16X and keeps going strong. I will be sad when 365 days are up."4th May, 2007

G Garibay says:
"The talent and imagination is strong in this one.
Pete has the creative mind of a true artist. His work is really amazing, like nothing I have seen before, and grows with each new idea. keep the good work coming.
I am Truly a big fan!"11th April, 2007

"Pete and I go WAY back: went to school together, we were roommates, went to one another's weddings, now we're both dads, etc. Sure, we've had some tense moments, but we've had more than our share of laughs over the years. Heck, isn't that what makes all great friendships last?
Pete introduced me to flickr awhile back, but it wasn't until recently that I picked up a REAL camera. Hey, Pete! I'm counting on you, man. Teach me the ropes! :) Oh, and if you ever decide you don't want to take pictures anymore, you can still be my roadie. :)"26th March, 2007

*Elizabeth* says:
"Petie aka My Asian Brotha...what a delight it has been to make his acquaintance. I've been on Flickr for less than a year and in that time, Petie has been one of a few who have stood by me. Petie has been a teacher, mentor, friend and a good laugh. His photography skills are amazing and his Photoshop skills will astound you. I feel fortunate to have come across his photostream and even more lucky to be considered a friend by him. Hugs Petie!!"

"Pete. When i see arkworld coming I know i can depend on a laugh, or at least a huge smile. But besides his great sense of humor and friendliness he's also an amazing photographer. Not only does he capture his girls so well but anyone who seeks his services as a photographer is super lucky. Next visit to S. Cali we've gotta have a flickr mixr."

"Whenever I need a laugh I come look at Pete's photostream - there is always something goofy and silly in there, particularly his 365 self-portrait project. I come for the laughs, but I stay for the wonderful photographs!"

Veronique Moisan says:
"Pete is one of the first photographers on flickr that I have come in contact with and he has successfully made me feel at home. His pictures reflect mostly his family-side but occasionally, he will indugle us with a silly-side picture. We love him for his honesty, his gorgeous portraits and his undeniable cuteness. :)"

"and I will call him Mary.
Pete - your girls can pay a dowry and we may change our minds about setting them up with serena's girls.
Your friendship and photography go without saying - hmmmmmmmmm

jtbeannie says:
"I've known Pete for almost twelve years and he's managed to get me addicted to whatever he gets addicted to. This by far is my favorite addiction. I enjoy looking at his pictures and anxiously wait for what he has next. Because of him, I've become a photo snob and expect nothing but the best pictures of his daughters."
