2009 was an interesting year for me, to say the least. It has taken me to five different countries and a full range of different living conditions. I've gone from the extremes of five star hotels, cuban cigars and Rolls Royce's to secluded mountain homes to weeks at a time in tents and the wilderness to being lost in the jungle over night to some of the worst hotels I have ever seen to opposites sides of a continent to working 16 hour days to being unemployed to seeing many extremes. I've been in cities that have electricity for only three hours a day and I've also been in some of the most modern cities in the world. This year has had a full range of things to offer- but mostly it was all good things- an amazing ride through what life has to offer- it was to me what experience is all about.
These shots are in a rough chronological order, starting first with film from south east Asia and ending with the most recent shot taken from Joshua Tree, California.
