    14000 is seven weeks of taking pics all day every day, 1200 of those were in just one night.

    As I get older I love to take pics of the quirky/crazy side of life. Here's one taken earlier today at Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. Yes, the views of the city are amazing from here, but the positions and poses that tourists were getting into I found far more interesting

    Here's a pic of mine taken of some children of the Kayan (Long Neck) ethnic group in Loikaw, Myanmar. This was taken with my 85mm 1.4 (at 1.4) Canon lens. Its long gone now as ive switched to Sony A7, it weighed a ton but gave the most amazing bokeh at those wide angle apertures
