NEW DOCUMENTARY REEL Looking back at my recent work, what I remember most aren’t the flashy shots; it’s the human moments. That’s what I leaned into here. Some of the people in this reel aren’t with us anymore, and I feel incredibly grateful I got to know them when I did. I hope I did them justice. Traveling and meeting people all over the world has changed me. It gives me moments of hope and a deeper level of understanding even in dark times. I’m very lucky to have seen the places I have, and it’s never lost on me. “Fear is for people who don’t get out very much.” - Rick Steves Locations in this Reel include the US, Finland, Cote d'ivoire, Cambodia, Thailand, Switzerland, India, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Isreal, Palestine, Poland, Ukraine, Brazil, Liberia, Vietnam, Ireland, and Spain. Thank you everyone who let me tell your story and Also, thanks @flysgf for getting me to all these stories.

Scenes from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. These were from my first morning there, all taken within about 1 hour of each other. Amazing place, great interactions, great people. Ok bye, Chum Reap Lear ជំរាបលា

Candid moments from Song Wat Road in Bangkok. This was full of sweet interactions. I'm posting less photos that I feel "look the best" and starting to post more images that I have a strong memory with. In my early 20's I was concerned about making things that would be remembered. Now I want to make things so I can remember. Leaving a "legacy" is an American mindset that keeps you from happiness now. Enjoy life, be present, be nice, eat more noodles, and go to Asia. #travel #Southeastasia #fujifilm

Night scenes in Thailand Nowhere feels more like home than Southeast Asia. ไม่มีที่ไหนให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนบ้านมากไปกว่าเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้ #Travel #Southeastasia #thailand

Bangkok’s Flower Market (Pak Khlong Talat) feels calm and alive at the same time. The flowers made here are woven into everyday life, used for spirit houses, family gatherings, and moments of respect. Knowing it’s all hand-crafted is really beautiful to me. ตลาดดอกไม้ปากคลองตลาดของกรุงเทพฯ ให้ความรู้สึกสงบและมีชีวิตชีวาในเวลาเดียวกัน ดอกไม้ที่ทำขึ้นที่นี่ถูกถักทออยู่ในชีวิตประจำวัน ใช้สำหรับศาลพระภูมิ งานรวมญาติ และช่วงเวลาแห่งความเคารพ การได้รู้ว่าทุกอย่างล้วนทำด้วยมือ ทำให้ฉันรู้สึกว่าสิ่งนี้งดงามมาก #Travel #Southeastasia #Thailand

Very grateful to meet and make friends with those living on Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. The Dakotas are very special to me. Lakota Ceremonial songs performed by John Around Him. Many Lakota spiritual activities were banned by US government from 1880 until the ban was lifted in 1978 with the signing of American Indian Religious Freedom Act. Shortly after, this music was recorded. #travel #Northdakota #Lakota
