Welcome to my new blog! It is just like my old blog except that I actually plan to publish content on this one. Despite “growing up digital” I have never kept up with blogging for any significant period of time. My casual experimentation with various online journals never amounted to much—and the sites that hosted my idle musings have all been vanquished to obscurity, thankfully. On some level it unnerves me that we will no longer be able to publish anything to the web without it becoming a part of the permanent historic record. This time I intend to put my concerns aside and simply blog the way I always wanted to.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
