Sunrise in Dahican by Jojie Alcantara
“When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself.” ~ Chief Tecumseh Shawnee
These locals run out to help boats coming in at dawn. In return, they get a few rewarded fish for breakfast from grateful fishermen. Shouldn’t humanity be as simple as this?
My domain name is simply a local slang, not an endorsement. 'Kodaker' in our town meant photographer long ago (the only brand known then). I am actually a Canoner. : )
I write a travel and lifestyle column in two newspapers, shoot for travel magazines, keep several blogs, and host events. My travels and crazy adventures turned me into a photographer. I am also an artist with a crazy sense of humor.
I love traveling solo. This way, I don't need to explain my eccentric ways wherever I go, which include obsession for collecting funny signs, Asian horror films, strange stuff and Michael Jackson memorabilia (guess how many shirts I have).
As a photojournalist, I love aerial and travel photography, and exploring destinations and culture. I conduct workshops and host events. This blog shares with you how I see life through my very curious eyes, with the help of inspirational quotes. My full articles are in another blog.

A merry Christmas to you, my dear friend. Stay happy and cooking!
