      <title>Photos: My Scholarship entry - Smoking in Indonesia</title>
      <description>A wise, old man once said, “Life is an experience. The more you have, the more you live.”

I live my life on that philosophy. Partly because I am that wise, old man. 

I am 32. So, it’s natural to assume that my youthful sense of wonder must be behind me.

That notion changes the minute you see me with a towel around my neck, jumping on the beach screaming ‘Superman!’

My day job (often stretching into the night job) is writing ads for an ad agency. 

I love writing, the work is fun on most days and it buys beer.

So, things are good.

Except, I really, really love photography too. 

Photographs help me tell stories words can’t. 

And I love traveling.

I have long fantasized about how great it would be if I could marry these 3 loves of mine.  

Now, that would be a great way to live. And to make a living. 

When I am having that much fun I am pretty sure something of value will come out that will make this world a bit more beautiful.

I want to learn to do this better. Working with Jason on a National Geographic assignment (whoa, it even sounds so awesome!), apart from great learning, will be a phenomenal experience.


And that’s what I live for.
