Sockeyed's photostream
|
I was born in Vancouver in 1971 to an anthropologist mother and a sociologist father. I grew up partly in Vancouver and partly in Hong Kong. Encouraged at an early age to take photographs, my work is strongly documentary and enthnographic in character. I live in Vancouver, and shoot projects primarily in Canada and Asia.

NateVenture says:
"I've never met Ben, but he's been an inspiration and is better than a fixer at sharing information on the happening places. He introduced me to the Rock Bar, Vinh and Sue, Rick and several other people, places and venues that changed my life forever. Hopefully I'll get to buy him a beer next time he gets a house pass to Southeast Asia!"

"Apart from taking great pictures, he's also not a bad travel buddy: farts only sparingly, will eat most anything, cries when he sees puppies."

The Finding Princess says:
"Ben aka sockeyed (who knew?) is great company at a picnic and enjoys watching old monster movies. He is much loved by babies...and has been known to charm them out of other people's arms...Therefore, if you don't know Ben, you should."
