If Tuesday night could ever make you want to yell, “TGIF, ” that night was last night. Rocking the Paramount Theater in Seattle were a trifecta of three stellar pop bands: Icona Pop, Matt and Kim, and Passion Pit. The night kicked off with Swedish pop duo Icona Pop, perhaps best known right now for their smash single “I Love It,” which is making waves
Truth be told, I’ve never actually logged on to Reddit until today. I noticed a huge spike in my website’s daily traffic, and after being tipped off by social media friends, I finally discovered the source. Thanks Seattle Reddit for linking my site! It’s a worthy post, all in celebration of the newly-opened Von Trapp’s German beer hall in Capitol Hill, Seattle. Click here to
Of all the countries in the world, I have been to Germany the most. My love affair with the European country began at the tender age of 3 when my parents took me on a military space-A flight to visit Bavaria, walk through "Mad King Ludwig's" Neuschwanstein Castle, drive the Romantic Road, and eat pretzels at Oktoberfest. Seventeen years later, I revisited Germany on the
I first saw and photographed Ellie Goulding live at SXSW 2011, back when she was a breakout singer-songwriter fresh off the release of Lights. On Monday night, I photographed her again at a sold out show at the Showbox SoDo here in Seattle. This time, she was hardly unknown.

The space is owned and run by Alex and Jonathan Parisi and is officially open for
Seattle's most loved Malaysian food place Kedai Makan finally has a new brick and mortar home! After about a year of inhabiting the Sunday Broadway Farmer's Market in Capitol Hill, Kedai Makan's tasty goodness will now be available 7 days a week from 4pm onward in their new home next to Montana bar in Capitol Hill. My interior photos of the new Kedai Makan are

Having traveled to over 20 countries, it surprises even me that I'd never been to Mexico until 2013. It only took a few days down south before the allure of the country made me understand why so many people rave about Mexico. I ventured down south with a friend to Puerto Vallarta, a resort city situated on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas. Having grown up
Late last summer, the publicist at Linda's Tavern in Seattle contacted me inquiring about having official press photos taken of all the Linda's restaurants and bars in town. Known for their laid back dive bar vibes, Linda Derschang's establishments of Linda's Tavern, Smith, King's Hardware, and Oddfellows are well-loved local haunts that apparently have been lacking in a library of good press photos. After several
My website has been a bit bare over the last stretch of 2012 and into 2013, and at long last, I'm allowed to share the reason why. Most of my time has been dedicated to my latest business venture: developing a brand new travel and tourism website for Hanna Stables, a horseback riding establishment in Belize specializing in providing tours to Mayan ruins.
