    We went to London

    We, that is Darren, Rick and I, went to London and tooled around for a bit. It was a lot of fun. London is pretty and busy and vital in a way that no American city is (even you, New York). Shit, the small town I live in has 10,000 fewer people than Cedar Rapids,…

  • My Friend, James

    My Friend, James

    This is the first picture of James I ever took: It was taken on October 21st, 2010. Which is, at the time of this writing, roughly 12 years ago. The picture was taken at a volunteer outing he organized and led at Ung Bướu Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. James took his life…

  • You can never Goa home again and Vietnam the first time

    You can never Goa home again and Vietnam the first time

    The first time I went to India, the friend of the family I was supposed to stay with died just before I arrived. I didn’t want to intrude on their grieving, so I took my shit to the train station nearest Mumbai International Airport and bought a ticket to a place that people went to…

  • The First Time I Went to Egypt Alone, I Didn’t Die

    The First Time I Went to Egypt Alone, I Didn’t Die

    So, to begin with- and I’ll let you know when this changes- all of these photos were taken with a Canon ELF. They suck and are very low res. These were also taken in the time before I knew anything about photography. So, these are mostly for historical value. That said, many trips begin in…

    Untitled, Self-Indulgent, Nostalgic, German Synth-Pop Project

    I am going through old photos, month by month, and I’ll be posting them weekly via gallery. Below are some of the earliest photos I took. Some of them will be arty and some will be people that I know and care about. These pictures feature my beloved scooter, Brunhilde, and also Jake and Josh.…

  • Lie Down With Essex Dogs, Wake Up With Essex Fleas

    Lie Down With Essex Dogs, Wake Up With Essex Fleas

    While I’ve been to the UK before, I’ve not ‘lived’ there in the resident sense. Tooling around in a country’s biggest city for a couple of weeks is different from living there. Now I’m living here. It’s a real trip, man. Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are both from the area; exciting, right? First impressions:…

  • Tri’s Visa and Home

    Tri’s Visa and Home

    A bunch of massive changes happening; Tri and I went to DC to sort out Tri’s school visa (it was significantly easier than we thought it was going to be). Mrs. Chau came and went, Nhi came and went back to college, Tri went off to college and I’m getting ready to leave. We had…

  • Hiking in Tennessee with Rob and Nicole

    Hiking in Tennessee with Rob and Nicole

    Rob organized a hike back when it was cold. It was great! We met up in Tennessee and Nicole, Rob and I walked all over. Rob put a LOT of effort into the routes and it paid off. We maximized our hike time and had a lot of fun. Zero ticks. I took some pictures…

  • New webhost and new site!

    Hi! I migrated my page over to a new web host and am currently remodeling my site. I am going to try to post pictures and stories with some more regularity on here, as that’s probably more interesting than piles of mostly un-captioned photos. Thanks for reading and I look forward to writing and displaying…

When I was back there in seminary school, there was a person there who put forth the proposition that you could petition The Lord with prayer. Petition The Lord with prayer? You cannot petition The Lord with prayer. However, SweetChuckyB can petition The Lord with prayer.
