Last week I gave myself an assignment: create a 2-minute video that combines:

• Film footage I captured in Death Valley with my new Nikon Z8 camera

• An original music composition inspired by the desert (which I created in only 48 hours!!)

• And written words to provide a narrative arch to the video

So I just spent the last 3 weeks traveling across New Mexico and California. Spring has sprung, and it was gorgeous! ☀️ I believe these are some of the most beautiful and photographic parts of the country. Perhaps you’ll agree after seeing a few of the images I was fortunate to capture in Santa Fe, at Stanford, and in the photographer’s paradise: Death Valley. I’m also working on a video short featuring footage from all three locations. Until then, here’s a sneak peek of some of my stills from the trip….

Inspired by the photograph above I took of a young Singaporean lady ascending a mysterious stairway to the unknown, I set out to explore a new musical landscape that is a bit more pop than I’ve allowed myself in the past.

After my retirement announcement last week, many folks reached out wanting to know what's next for me. So I shot this short video below that sheds some light on this next chapter in my life.

Following my retirement announcement earlier this week, a bunch of people reached out to me because they were surprised ("you're too young!") and wanted to better understand what drove the decision. So I shot this short video to outline the biggest reason I decided to retire. It shouldn't come as a huge surprise.

After a wild career spanning 3 decades, I am retiring from the world of Tech to focus full-time on my creative pursuits.
