Of all the photos that I have taken of my daughter Aryanna, this would happen to be in my top five. Even as a very young child, she had this look that's hard to define, almost ethereal, an old soul so to speak.
Kawawa naman
When I look at this photo of my son Dylan, I can only speculate as to what's on his mind. This fits into that category of "a pictures is worth a thousand words." I do believe that I had just eaten his last spoonful of yoghurt which caused this reaction.
Yak Testicles
I believe this is the first selfie I took in Mongolia. This was shot somewhere in inner Mongolia. My facial expression is from a combination of eating way too many Yak testicles and subfreezing temperatures. FACT 1: The Mongolian barbecue is a lie (aka The Myth of the Mongolian Barbecue). FACT 2: Never mess with a man who has just consumed yak testicles for breakfast, lunch or dinner, especially breakfast-- not the greatest way to start the day.
Second selfie. This time, I felt it wise to wear sunglasses to protect anyone who dare lay their eyes on this image. Even with my sunglasses on, you can still tell that I just finished a bowl of yak balls.
I thought I was hallucinating when I entered my hotel room and saw this painting; it was most likely the side effects of yak ball consumption. Then, I started thinking that someone had actually taken time out of their life to paint this and came to the conclusion that he or she, too, had suffered the same fate as I and consumed way too many yak testicles.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
There was a time in my life when I called Australia home. I lived there for nearly 10 years. I do remember though having to learn a new way to speak English. Australian slang, as well, for the most part, left me with a facial expressions that Daffy Duck might have after having had a colonic. I clearly remember when a fellow employee asked if he could borrow my rubber. How odd and personal is that? Wanting a used rubber? A bit extreme in anyones book. That's one horny and desperate bloke I thought. Oz speak for rubber in plain english is an eraser.
Amen
I've lived in the Philippines for the past 28 years and if there is one image that stands out it has to be this one—religion and basketball, almost one in the same.
Thar She Blows!
After hundreds of years of whaling the cold frigid waters of Antarctica the Japanese have now moved to dry land and warmer climates for an easier catch. No longer is the harpoon the weapon of choice as it now has been replaced by the cell phone.

Mystery Pic
My guess is that you would have to be older than 30 to possibly know where this image was taken. A few clues, yes, it is in the Philipines, it's pre-digital, it's close to where you can watch both the sunrise and sunset in the same day, at one time there was no electricity, you could find places to stay for around 150 pesos per day, meals included and boat rides from here only cost 5 to 10 pesos. It was the gateway to paradise. Olympus OM1 Kodachrome 25
