The stroll in this weather makes me ponder my past and where it all started for me as a young photographer. About 12 years ago, I visited Vietnam as a photogra-tourist (I coin that phrase just now) and instantly fell in love with the country. As clich\u00e9 as that sounds, it\u2019s true.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I returned to in Hanoi two years later, I was accompanied by a truck load of credit card debt from unnecessary gear and a year left at University that I would never finish. My plan was to focus on personal projects and use my time shooting my projects as my version of my final year of school. I was intrigued by a photobook by <\/span>Philip Jones Griffiths<\/a>\u00a0<\/u>about victims of agent orange in Vietnam and I wanted to do my own version of this story.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”5732″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]After getting settled in and finding my bearings here with the help a wonderful woman named Thuy (one of my closest friends to this day and I\u2019m forever grateful to her), I gained access to an orphanage for victims of Agent Orange. I started my project Legacy Of Horror<\/em><\/a> and in the end launched my career with it. The project led to several accolades including my acceptance into the prestigious<\/span> Eddie Adam Workshop<\/span><\/a>, winner of the <\/span>Marty Forscher Award <\/span><\/a>for humanitarian photography, and the Emerging Photographer award given out by the Missouri School of Journalism. It also helped me open the door with the New York Times that led to shooting over 100 assignments around Asia for them, which eventually led to commercial work that came at a time when editorial budgets took a spill. I understand this is an odd career trajectory and it won\u2019t be the same for everybody, but my career really did start and sustained because of a personal project that I shot 10 years ago. Of all the things I\u2019ve done in my career, the part that had the most impact on me and what I\u2019m proudest of is that first true personal project.<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned so much about myself as a photographer during that time. I learned I could photograph in the moment and suppress my emotions (not saying that\u2019s a good thing) and focus on the story. I also learned I couldn\u2019t escape those emotions I felt for the children as they surfaced every evening while I edited and organized my images. By using only one camera and one lens (Canon 5D and the 35mm for you tech nerds), I had to physically move more and that self-imposed discipline made me rethink my compositions. I learned the importance of anticipating moments as well as patiently observing. I learned how photographing the same happenings every day in the same place made me creative out of boredom. I shed the old way I shot and worked on new ways to compose my images, new ways to see light, and different approaches to visual storytelling.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”5734″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]Each day I experimented and each day I grew. Some days I took awful images but the failure helped me learn and evolve. I stopped trying to reproduce images that would get me pats on the back in University, or worse yet, trying to mimic other photographer\u2019s images that I admired. I began to strive to create something original, something I could call my own and create my own identity with. My work isn\u2019t the most prolific work on the topic but it was easily my most powerful work.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I finished that project, I thought to myself this is the first of many. I was addicted to the whole process from the conception of the idea, to shooting the story, to sequencing the final images. Yet some projects started over the past 10 years all fizzled out for a variety of reason and I\u2019ve never could truly recapture that feeling I had when I started out. I\u2019ve shot for just about everyone but myself in that ten years and I\u2019m content with my career path, but something is missing. Nothing compares to the gains I made during that time I shot my first personal project. \u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”5733″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]There is no playbook, no list of projects to choose from, no right or wrong way to go about it, no assurance it will be successful, no help. You must just lace up your boots, leave everyone else behind, be discipline and focused.\u00a0Personal projects aren\u2019t just for documentary photographers or photojournalists, photographers of all genres will benefit from the process. Personal projects aren\u2019t just for photographers starting out either, but for anyone looking for a spark, looking to expand their creativity and discover something new about themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m 39 and it\u2019s been far too long since I\u2019ve had that spark. While it\u2019s been fun reminiscing about the past, I\u2019m gazing towards the future. In two days, I will embark on the next chapter of my new ongoing personal project<\/u><\/a>. The project has a long way to go but at least I\u2019ve begun. I\u2019m scared, petrified even to discover who I am at this stage in my career. Maybe the project will suck, maybe it will be average (just as bad as sucking), who knows, but I know I will love the process and that I will learn something new about myself.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”5731″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]I feel naked (sorry for that disturbing visual if you\u2019ve met me) without a client or an editor directing me this time, but I also feel damn liberated and ecstatic to recapture that feeling I had over a decade ago.
