I am an American ex-pat living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where I work as a guitar player, photographer and consultant. For more than 20 years I lived a somewhat conventional life with a career in sales, marketing and management of innovative high-tech hardware, software and Internet companies, but for the past ten years I have been traveling and pursuing a career in photography. I’m a very lucky

Can you believe that its 2010 already? Looking ahead... Despite my lack of new year resolutions and even after taking into account my generally grim prospects for the future...I have reason to believe that 2010 will be a great year!Certainly it started out with a BANG... and also with lots of beer and "silly string", but that was all before today's extraordinarily regretable, challenging and

That's ex-pert, not ex-pat. Oh no... not anymore... (Boy do I ever miss Bangkok). Dave Pell is an expert. Just take a look at his blog. I haven't been marketable as an expert lately. Maybe that's my problem. I tend to understand and portray myself as a generalist, but I need to market myself as an expert. To be specific... in general, companies just aren't hiring generalists these days. My

I'm quitting drinking coffee and haven't had a cup in over a week now. I still have those moments when I crave it, (like right now) but I've been able to overcome the urge and I just look the other way when I walk past my local coffee-shop. I still have the occasional Coke or cup of tea, because it seems that these forms of caffeine just don't affect me the same way a strong cuppa joe does.

I've been very busy job-hunting this week. Aside from further resume tweaking, sending out scads of letters, scouring the job-sites and networking, I've also been preparing and updating my list of references.   I've been contacting all my former employers and many co-workers to let them know that I am searching, to affirm that I can expect an excellent reference and to alert them that they

Yeah! Its about time someone else finally posted some photos of me. Of course, I went to a famous University to study Philosophy. This article details how the University of Pittsburgh deliberately built up its Philosophy department to be one of the very few best in the the country.

These guys are brilliant. I've often thought that the angrier you get at Bush and Co., the more power you accede to them. Wherever you go, whatever you do, whoever you are... YOU ARE UNDER SURVEILANCE Because you are a potential criminal, perhaps you secretly doubt the sanctity of corporate property, or the validity of laws made by the rich to govern the poor, or the soundness of capitalism

Wow! 3 of my recent photos have been accepted for inclusion in The Mirror Project. You can see them here, here and here. I'm still pulling together various portfolios and hope to soon make a submission to 28mm, an online photography magazine. I've got LOTS of photos where I appear in some reflective surface, so I'll be making more submissions periodically to The Mirror Project. Fun!

I'm not happy about how few photos I've shot this past week. Maybe I'm just not happy about the quality of what I shot or the fact that I still have a steep learning curve ahead of me with my new camera. Or maybe I just need to learn to be a better editor. All of the above. Some people's stuff is so consistently great. I just love Heather Champ's photo-blog. And daily dose of imagery is

Saw an entertaining movie last night called Wild Zero, featuring the Japanese band Guitar Wolf. On the job-hunting front I'm off to a good start this week: - updated resume - reworked cover letters - posted resume at various online services - networking like a champ - sent resumes to apply for 6 jobs - considered feedback from many friends - felt depressed - etc. And then I felt sick

My friends Chris and Erin just had a baby delivered via c-section last week. Chris mentioned that they had hoped to have a "natural" home birth. Naturally, this triggered my thoughts on the issue of man versus nature. I mentioned to him that c-sections were a form of natural child-birth and he vehemently disagreed, as though the mere fact of human intervention itself were somehow outside the

He may not have known it, but more than a few of Einstein's statements indicate a deeply Buddhist perspective. The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism....

Really, there's no telling how long this Donovan thing can go on. He'll be appearing at Cafe Du Nord next week. Welp, now I'm in the thick of it. Job-hunting. Arrrggghhhh. It can put you in a foul mood and yesterday that was about the size of it. Today I kicked some ass, took a few names and scheduled lots of lunches, dinners, schmoozes, pop-ins and of course I left some messages. I also

Must be the season of the witch. Or is that the season of the switch? I'm trying to switch gears from backpacking in SE Asia to being a job-hunter here in America. Somehow the former felt better I think. Being unemployed - how one must define one's self while looking for work - is not a whole lot of fun. Just consider the gap between what you might want to do and what is available. An even

Yes, I am using Donavan songs as the titles of my posts, at least yesterday and today. I doubt the trend will develop legs, but time will tell as it does for all. Felt kind of ill yesterday. Diarrhea if you must know. Yuck-o. Today I'm better and the weather is better and its not the 4th of July and everything is copacetic hunky-dory.

They call me mellow yellow... had a great day yesterday. First I woke early and visited the San Francisco Zen Center for some quiet meditation and to see if any good-looking women were about. Then I had lunch with Michael, Gerladine and Mimi at the Squat and Gobble in the Lower Haight. After a nice nap I hung-out with Stanley for some 4:20 action. Cecilia picked me up at about 7:30 and we had

Friends Chris and Erin had a baby this afternoon. Meet Bodhi Benjamin Bartle: In related and belated news, friends Les and Stacey had a baby yesterday morning, but as yet there are no known photos available of Leah Clara Feldman.

We had a big house party in our big house last night. Didn't get to sleep until 6:30 this morning. My buddy Michael (pictured below) was here last night as were many friends, but many more were unable to attend due to the Dead show at Shoreline last night.

In Slate today Chrostopher Hitchens slams Michael Moore's new movie in an excellent and insightful review.. I have very little respect for Michael Moore. His books are truly sensationalistic and sophmoric and do little to raise the level of political and social discourse from the third-grade level at which both the Democratic and Republican parties have kept it for many many years now.

This house is a few doors up from the one I'm living in right now. She's a beauty! This flower photo just makes me happy. Good flower... good photo.

Today I'm headed across the Bay to Berkeley for brunch at the Thai Buddhist temple Wat Mongholratanaram. Yesterday I went to a nice outdoor concert at the Yerba Buena Gardens downtown. Friday night at The Fillmore with Patty Griffin was tremendous. and my buddy David showed-up in his brand new 2005 model year Subaru Outback. Yippeeee! My friend Chris hooked-me-up to be an usher at the

I tore it apart and knocked it down. I'm currently in the process of stomping the shit out of it. We shall see what resurfaces and what fades away... You know I stopped exercising awhile back... things were getting out of hand:

A group of 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers said Wednesday that President Bush should be voted out of office in November for damaging U.S. national security interests and America's standing in the international community. I say impeach the muthafucker today... think of all the damage he can still do if we wait for an election in November! Many others seem to agree: The Four

Tomorrow I'm going to spend some time with a few of my favorite people at one of my favorite places... the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - SFMOMA. And then tomorrow night I'm going with my friend David (pictured below in the always cool Kind Veggie Tee-Shirt) to see a fantastic singer/songwriter, Patty Griffin at The Fillmore.

I had fun tonight. First I ate at Viet Nam II, my old favorite vietnamese seafood place. Then I caught Keith Andrew playing at Jazz Nouveau at The Cannery. And as if that weren't enough, I ran into my friend Jim on Columbus Avenue in North Beach playing guitar on the street.

Its 7:30 am and it looks like another beautiful day. Hey, check out my buddy Dave's blog. He's off in Africa shooting a documentary film on volunteers helping refugees in Zambia. And also stop in at PhatMike's blog. He's heading to Amsterdam for a month in July! OK, now its 11:11 am and I just woke-up... again. Here's a shot of my other buddy Dave in a highly inebriated late-night sitar pose.

Here's another good list of photoblogs from Photoblogs.org. Might just do a photo a day at fotolog.net. I was also admiring some of Mark Hemmings photos this morning. Some beautiful flowers from India to brighten your day. Hey, who knew that "Son of Sam", convicted murderer Jeffery Berkowitz has his own blog? And on an unrelated note, my buddy Bob-O was hanging out with New York's famous

I'm an amateur photographer, but I'd like to become a pro and I've been giving some intensely serious thought to it. How do I get started? What will I need to do, exactly? I have a camera, but it isn't professional quality, so I need a new one. And some other stuff too. Of course, my real value is my eye and sense of appreciation for what makes a good photograph. I don't know what art is, but

I went to a nce little party last night with a bunch of my deadhead friends. Lots of people are at the big Bonaroo Festival in Tennessee right now... but those of us who stayed home this weekend are in for a big freaky treat cuz the 27th annual Haight Street Fair is today. The fair doesn't start until 11:00 am, but I woke up early (again) and, although I had pretty much quit drinking coffee

Michael Matlach has some beautiful Buddhism images from Asia. I read about him in a Buddhist cultural magazine I picked up called Shambhala Sun. I'd never seen it around before, but I have seen a magazine called Tricycle, the Buddhist Review, which I've enjoyed in the past. There are lots of people selling lots of Buddhist stuff. This guy wants you to be enlightened. Lots of others want to sell

And by the way... have you EVER seen a punked-out pig? I ran into one in Nepal of all places: Cringely had something interesting to say about blogs today. And Dave Winer almost always does.

But one of the great ones, Ray Charles, died today. Does reckless desire rule your shame cult? Well then... just sign your pity to the runny kine!

Mark Twain once said: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Truer words were never spoken. Damn its been cold and windy! Its OK though, friends keep me warm... I ran into my friend Ali a few weeks back, and shot a few portraits of him... I've been hard at work on sorting and sifting through my 50,000+ travel photos. Portraits are my specialty, but I've also

Its big and its nice... sub-letting a very nice cozy room for the next 3 and a half months. Its in a huge old house a block down from Divisadero on Broderick at Fulton. My good buddy Bob was in town from New Jersey and we hung out for the past couple of days. Festivities included an evening at Nickies for Grateful Dead Night on Monday and a stop at Ben & Jerr'y's at the corner of Haight &
