When I was a kid I remember eating at a Chinese restaurant in Tahoe City, CA where I lived with my dad and brother. There was one potsticker left and I wrapped it up in my napkin to take home to eat later. Since that moment my dad has teased me that I must have been Vietnamese in a past life since I wrap up pieces of meat which he claims that I also store under my pillow for safe keeping. Why Vietnamese and under my pillow I never understood the reasoning, but the point being that I have always been obsessed with all Asian food and I can definitely connect with the idea of a past life experience. My favorite place to visit, which is a fairly new discovery, is the Pacific Ocean Marketplace located in Broomfield, CO. This shopping center caters to a large Vietnamese population with a massive Asian market and several Pho restaurants. I am happy to say that I have finally located a Vietnamese cultural center close to where I live and in my mind I fit right in.
I turned 39 on May 7th, 2009. I am documenting my 40th year of life by photographing everyday and posting it on this blog. Each day will in some way reference the previous day's image either visually or conceptually. The project will end on my 40th birthday.
