“My hand is empty, I can’t offer you anything. But let me have your pain, it doesn’t belong to you.” ~ Dodinsky
One day, I went around the streets alone preparing myself for the street photography workshop am about to do. While I’ve seen and captured things that make me smile, there are matters that touch the heart to the core.
And you just can’t shake the sadness off that easily.
My domain name is simply an old local slang, not an endorsement. 'Kodaker' meant photographer long ago, using the only popular brand 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 journeys and crazy adventures turned me into a photographer. I am also an artist and a nutcase.
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, portrait, landscape and travel, while exploring destinations and culture. I give workshops and host events. This blog is but one of the many slices of my life, with the help of inspirational quotes. My full articles are in another blog.
