I’m goin going, back back, to cali cali

August 23rd, 2007 · 18 Comments

Well, my trip is about to take another interesting turn. Tonight I fly to the United State of California… to LAX specifically. I’ll be living there for the next three months… working with my homeboy Tal Pink on a very cool project I wrote about way back.

If you are in the LA area.. give me a call.. lets do it Cali styli.

I am feeling so emotional right now. There is a really big part of me that does not want to leave.. does not want to stop exploring. ever. But i know that this is the right thing for me right now.. and this does not mean that the adventure is ceasing.. its just changing.

Also… i’d like to take this moment to give a quick “thank you” to India & Nepal. You were really great.. lets hang again real real soon. This video is for you:

    Bonjour Ron!

    Watching your video was super! (Especially the dancing lady at the end of your clip, but I’m trying to become professional now, so I’ll avoid the subject).

    I skipped India, but I’m getting emotional whenever somebody talks about great travels, or just leaving or few weeks to explore a new part of the world.

    What you lived was amazing, you will live with it forever and I wish you to repeat the experience sometime soon!

    crazy you’re leaving and i’m coming. i leave in a week. i’ll be in asia until the end of november, likely in nepal by that point. let me know if you’re around…or come for some snow in colorado this winter!

    photo ?- are you shooting with a SLR? you think i can buy a cheap digital (not a SLR) in asia? i have yet to go digital, ever! (and i went to cmu). just bought a ‘76 hassleblad for the journey.

    be in touch.

    happy trails.

    your site inspires.

    hey ron, im the english one who you danced ’salsa’ with and sung karoake with in sunglasses till the wee hours in Paragon… good times i know…Just to say i never realised you had your fingers in so many pies..your more then a photographer/web designer it seems. All your pictures are wonderful, they make me happy and i wish they were all mine..i might just copy and paste them onto my computer and pretend. my friends will never know. take care of yourself, have fun in LA x
