I love to move around, to travel, to meet people. I delight in exploring beauty and ways of living. I take pictures of things that people share with me, things that fascinate me, things that catch my eye.

I got my first taste of travel photography when I was still in college at MIT and worked in Bhutan, shooting for the book Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom.  After that, I moved to the Bay Area and split my working time between shooting for various organizations and publications, working on films, and developing educational software.  In winter 2007, I worked in Southeast Asia, documenting the lives of Burmese refugees living in Thailand.  That work is published along with the work of 2 other American photographers and a number of Burmese photographers in the book Invisible Lives.

I’m currently a masters student at the UC Berkeley iSchool, studying the relationships between communication, technology, and development.  I aim to combine my experience in technology with my experience in storytelling to promote practices and policies that someday enable everyone to document their own lives as they wish.

The images on this site are among my favorites from some of the extraordinary and ordinary events I’ve been lucky enough to experience.  I hope you enjoy and learn from these photos some of what I have while living them.
