I was fortunate enough to spend the last three days in Repkong valley at the LaRu festival. You won’t find the LaRu festival listed much of anywhere. It’s not on wikipedia and a quick google search shows almost nothing. I’ve been told that it’s listed in Lonely Planet but I can’t find it really anywhere….

Our Kelby World Wide Photowalk this year was amazing. I was just about to post my pictures and say “Hey! We had a great time on our photo walk… here are some pictures!” …only because I’m tired and it’s 1:05am, but instead I’m going to breach another subject. Why? Well, this photo walk reminded me of…
Last weekend I got the chance to shoot a Malaysian wedding w/ Matt (see his shots here). It was quite an experience full of customs that frankly I was somewhat ignorant about other than my desperate night before wikipedia cram. A Malaysian muslim wedding is an extremely colorful thing which made it a lot of…
Part 2 – Downtown Penang + Batik Factory So after my meetings and shoot(s) in Hong Kong, I headed down to Penang for a bit of business and pleasure w/ our good ol’ Digital Trekker. I have to admit, I went to Penang not knowing much about it other than it’s really really hot there…
I spent the last 7 days hoping between meetings, countries, and shoots. Last Tuesday I had a meeting in Hong Kong to research possibilities for a future lighting/fashion/city-based workshop there with some awesome instructor(s). Was an amazing trip filled with good food, some new friends, and just a whole lot of doing what I love…

On Thursday I threw up a post about scouting out our local Tibetan market. I was excited to find that these markets have these old plexiglass roofs that have changes to all sorts of interesting colors. I wanted to shoot the modernizing Tibetan culture in a place surrounded by the ancient. Things rarely, if ever, go the…
Our markets in town are all amazing places to take a camera (and avoid leaving money/phones/valuables in your pockets). One of my favorites and one of the only places on the planet (that I know of) where you will find Muslims selling Tibetan goods to Tibetans is at our local Tibetan market. The fact that…
You might have seen this shot earlier in my post about “Do What You Want with What You Have.” It’s a nice shot with lots of little compositional things I would have changed; some lighting changes, posing suggestions, framing the shot differently, etc. However, that’s not the point of this post. I’m actually really proud…
