"First you catch a big, fat toad and put him in a box with mirrors on all four sides. The result: toad oil, a cure-all ointment, as good for what ails you as snake serum." - Akira Kurosawa, on Something Like an Autobiography

My favorite director, Akira Kurosawa described his autobiography as the process of making toad oil. This passage says so much about writing truthfully about oneself. Ever since I learned about the Internet, I have tried blogging in almost a bashful display of self consciousness, always writing about myself. Through the years, and with only a few entries, I have always closed down each blog. Because in the process, I learned that there's really no point in writing if it only relates to me. So with this blog, I attempt to look at myself in the mirror of all earth - the many places in this world. And with my camera, I attempt to show the world as I see it.
