Almost two years later, so here's an update to my personnal bio. I'm still the guy who learned how to develop pictures when he was in fifth grade. I guess that can't change. What different than before is I am now back in the U.S. I'm back to my home country and even living where I lived before moving to Canada. Even though I loved being in Canada, there's something about being back home that really makes me feel comfortable. I guess that feeling goes with anybody who leaves their own country for a period of time. Even though I lived a couple of hundred miles away from the U.S., it was nice to finally return home.

Though my work as taken me to Edwards AFB, I'm still shooting pictures and have now discovered the Eastern Sierra Mountains. The place is wonderful. The funny thing is I've lived in the area for eight years of my life--five as an adult and three as a child--and I really never paid much attention to the incredible beauty in those mountians. I've made a personnal goal to discover and photograph as much as I can in the area. Having a camper to hang out in during the night makes staying out in the "woods" that much easier. I'm excited about living in Southern California because of the tremendous scenic opportunities, the incredible legacy from the previous masters, and the large concentration of other photographers. It's a rare weekend when driving down the road that I don't notice another photographer working his trade.

It's wonderful. Life is moving on and things are great.

Cheers
