Your Bio

Hi all,

What a wonderful world we live in! I would like to share with you all what I saw through my lenses.

Most pictures with wild color are straight out from my camera with minimum or no photoshop.

Big portion of my older pictures were taken with a Nikon D40x, what an awesome little camera. D300 is what replacing it now and going forward.

I have the passion for capturing lives, characters, color, etc. I work per project basis, product photography, and shoot weddings / models when my schedule permits.

It's a busy world out there that I try to slow it down and capture the beauty of the moments. One photo at a time ...

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.
My email: ekapolmusiclover @ gmail . com, ekapolmusiclover @ netscape . net

Hope you like what you see here. A picture or two that might make you feel better. Appreciate your support and all the comments you posted here.

Hoitsugan Tokyo 2004 : Yes, I had the chance to sneak out to the dojo during my business trips in Japan. I was there deploying NTT's HOTSPOT project -- wireless network covering all over Tokyo area, later expanded to Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, etc. We supposed to sleep day time and deploy the network at night. But hey... that's the time for my training right? Saw bunch of pictures of "younger" Jon Keeling sensei at the certificates on the wall... I think that's pretty cool. Everybody seems to be extra friendly knowing that I train at JKASV under Jon Keeling sensei. Good for me, at first I was afraid they would beat me up or something :D

Hoitsugan Seminar III 2008 -- Wed & Saturday : Photos by Maleeya & Ekapol March 12-16, 2008 Silicon Valley area of northern California, USA http://www.hoitsugan.com/hoitsuganseminars3.html For the third time, over a dozen instructors, all of whom lived and trained in Japan, will come together to teach as a collective unit. This event will involve 15 instructors teaching a total of 47 seminars over a 5-day period. Many of the instructors trained directly with Nakayama Sensei prior to his passing in 1987. Most of these instructors lived in Japan for many years and have gained experiences that may be invaluable to your own training. The Hoitsugan Seminars have set a new standard of excellence for seminars. -- I keep most of the pictures here on this gallery so we all can go back and see how the techniques were done. Hope you enjoy them. -- Ekapol.--
