One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumping was impressive, though my dog akira performances are memorable, my backpackers' way into Matchu Pitchu was pretty fun and every time I find another way to see/observe and photograph light is's a big moment for me. So I guess I can't think of only one thing at this short lifetime of mine...
