Wannabe world traveler with diverse interests.

My travel photos will form the backbone of my photostream. While I had used my travels in the past (particularly in the UK) as an excuse to try out such new technologies as Advanced Photo System and digital cameras, it wasn't until being inspired by friends' travel photography, and my own long term travels in Asia, that I took up travel photography as a serious hobby, photographing "mundane" items many locals and casual visitors take for granted, and acquiring a DSLR camera.

My travels so far have taken me throughout the US (35 states and District of Columbia), and into Canada (4 provinces), Europe (8 countries), and Asia (China and Korea). Most of my South Korean photos are currently offline as a protest against South Korea's vague, ad-hoc Internet censorship, and will remain so until further notice, though some selected photos remain online.

When I am not traveling, I might be photographing various subjects of my interest. One of them is live music performances. In particular I feature photos of two singer-songwriters: Anna Nalick, who is shown next to me in my buddy icon and who grew up in my neck of woods, and Katie Cole, an Australian who moved to Los Angeles in search of new audiences and inspirations.

When I am not taking photographs, I can be found running a business, attempting to write a novel, or attempting to do stand-up comedy; my travel experiences come in handy for both novel writing and stand-up comedy. Feel free to follow me on Twitter, at @InSapphoWeTrust.
