Japanese Street

Exploring the streets of Japan during a twenty four hour layover on the way to Bali.

The Boss

This guy looks like he runs the show here. I remember a monkey stealing my father's glasses. Then a man who was working at the temple traded the monkey some peanuts for the glasses back. My dad gave the man a tip. Standard monkey/human sting operation.

Uluwatu Monkeys

There were monkeys everywhere at the Uluwatu cliff temple.

Uluwatu Sunset

This negative had a horrible emulsion streak across it. I spent hours with the healing brush cleaning it up, along with dust spots and scratches. Can you tell?

Jungle Alleyway

It seems like everything in Bali has something growing on it.

Ubud Soccer Field

Panoramic of a soccer field and temple in Ubud, Bali. This was back in 2004, I wonder what it looks like these days.

Stepping Into Time

I really like the movement in this garden path photo. It just feels right.

Hanging Trinkets

Exploring the tourist shops in Ubud near the beginning of our trip.

Temple At Uluwatu

Got some awesome contrast at this cliffside temple near Uluwatu.

Mt. Batur

I took this panoramic of a storm rolling in over the active volcano Mount Batur on our first week in Bali.

Flashbacks

We stayed at an awesome little bed and breakfast bungalow for a week or more in Sanur called Flashbacks. The owners were extremely nice and we quickly felt at home.

Painting

Asked this nice gentleman if I could take a photo of him painting and his kid jumped up and wanted to be in the photo too.

Motorcycle Blur

We pulled over on the side of the road to take photos of an amazing view of mountains and rice paddies, but while everyone was shooting the landscape I though I'd see if I could pull off a quarter second exposure and capture one of the motorcycles whizzing.

Lembongan Island Sunset

Another magical sunset on Lembongan Island. Somehow all the boats lined up and pointed at the sun perfectly for this shot. This was the first photo I ever sold, matted and framed in an art showing my high school dark-room photography put on. I remember when I got back from Bali and printed a contact sheet of all my negatives from the trip, my photography teacher, Bill B. took a quick look, pointed out this photo and said with a smile, "Your whole trip was worth this one shot here."

Monkey Forest

Chillin' in the treetops, monkey style.

Lembongan Island Fishing Boat

Sunset silhouette of a lone fishing boat on Lembongan Island tethered to the beach.

Jungle Waterfall

I took this photo on a day hike to an amazing waterfall destination deep in the jungle.

Stairway Into The Jungle

Mom descending an ancient jungle stairway at Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali.

Bali Bill

Dad, ready to go explore Ubud on day one of our Bali adventure.

Nick

Nick, looking really happy to have landed in the tropics and be off the long plane ride.

West Cliff

Same as it always was.

Vancouver Harbor Black & White

When you can't get the colors right I say make it black & white. More boats docks in Vancouver Harbor.
