Backstory

"Backstory" is the behind the scenes look of some of my work, how I take some of my shots, what equipment, and what angles.

Sydney Opera House + Canon PowerShot + Boat
Singapore Botanic Gardens July 2009. It was hot!
A view from one of Norway's tallest mountains: Ulriken. Kaycee (daughter) were freezing to death up here!
Somewhere on an island in the middle of the Philippines is a faint sound of 8 frames per second. That's me with a Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera, a Canon vest, a Canon EF 70-200mm f4L and Manfrotto 682B Self Standing Monopod. For bird shots, I find the monopod's self-standing legs unnecessary so I didn't open it up.
Taking videos at the Ming Dynasty Tombs, Beijing, China. Also carrying a Canon 550D plus the Canon 300mm f/4L IS for candid shots.
Taking videos at the Forbidden City, Beijing, China. Also carrying a Canon 550D plus the Canon 300mm f/4L IS for candid shots.
"Backstory: Ming Dynasty Tombs" There were a lot of photographers at Ming Dynasty Tombs, which also meant lots of folks asking me questions on what kind of gear I was carrying and people start hovering. When language was a barrier, we resorted to show and tell and hand signals, and of course, they took pictures.
Somewhere in Southeast Asia shooting birds.
Music video shoot.
‎"Sir we can upgrade your room to superior for 20 euros and with it you will be able to see the Eiffel Tower." What a deal!
Bangkok, Thailand skyscraper view. I was at Baiyoke Hotel Bangkok taking pictures.
