A New Adventure!
A Californian Summer Re-Cap:
So, as you have most likely noticed, my blog has been pretty dead since Felicia and I returned from South America. The summer went buy quicker than ever and I became the busiest “unemployed” person ever. Getting to know her better, getting engaged, shooting a few weddings, having a camera lens stolen from me -my 70-200mm f/2.8- (which was insured), having to say goodbye and watch her head home last month, and finally having a little spill on my new-ish motorcycle last week.
I am doing good though, a little lonely without her around and a little scratched up from the asphalt, but good nonetheless. We are planning our wedding for next summer and things are looking up in life.
Now for the really good part! I am flying off tomorrow morning to head back to Singapore to meet up with Felicia and become part of her life there for the next three months. I have never lived abroad in one place for so long before and am really interested to find how close I can get into the Singaporean culture. Also I am planning a few weeks of side trips around the Southeast Asian region during that time too! So keep you eyes peeled, and come back from time to time because new adventures are on their way!

WOW!! Excellent my friend!! those are really good news! (Not the lens one of course…)
Leaving with someone is the only way of getting to know them.
Good luck on your journeys, be safe and take damn good pictures as always.
FINALLY someone I know is on the road again! blogging continues…

Oh damn, I can’t believe someone lifted that big ole’ lens. Were you at a wedding or something?
Looking forward to seeing some more photos from abroad.

Hey Rob -
I stumbled across your blog ages ago and I liked seeing the photos you took. You have inspired me to take a trip around the world very soon, but first, I need to save heaps of moolah for it. Booo…Plus, all the nice photos also spurred me to improve my photography with my DSLR camera!
Also - I happen to be a Singaporean. I think it’s really cool that you and Felicia are together, because it’s not everyday meetings like yours happen!
Good luck to you both, and I hope to see more photos soon! Thank you for being a little part of my inspiration, despite not knowing you in person. It would be interesting to meet you both because I think your travel stories would be an eye-opener.
Regards,

I’ve been following your blog for a long time, just wanted to say congrats! The pic of the palm trees in this post is so good it prompted me to finally comment:)

Adrift and lonely, our Hero has a mission. One that involves bravery and tenaciousness. With 4 pounds of gear recently removed, he moves swifter while he works forging that what is to be with another. Our Hero is off on a new adventure.
Let us all lift a toast to the young man that so inspires us to share our thoughts.
Amen Rob.
God Bless, your father
