Vietnamese vendor by Jojie Alcantara
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” ~ Elliott Erwitt
Street vendor in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Vietnam

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.
