The Object of Envy: Michael Yamashita

April 7, 2007

Reflecting on my sins during the Holy Week, I discovered that mine is Envy. My object of envy is Michael Yamashita, a photographer for National Geographic. My fixation with Yamashita began when he released a book and a National Geographic miniseries on his journey chronicling the route of Marco Polo from Italy to China. His experience is definitely ENVIABLE. I mean how do you get paid to travel around the freaking world!?!??! Who else can say they were at the forefront of experiencing the complexity and color of humanity but Michael Yamashita and his crew? I guess I am infuriated that he didn't invite me to his expedition even just to wipe the sweat from his brow. I would have probably been good at it.

Below are sample pictures from His Marco Polo Expedition.

He even does it again with his new book that I found in National Bookstore Podium! He goes on a reverse journey from China to Europe that follows the trail of Ming Dynasty Explorer Zheng He. Once again, he doubly gets on my bad side by not inviting me. Below are sample pictures from his journey which are found in his new book and documentary on Zheng He.

Hmm… I will check about James Nachtwey. I am an amateur when it comes to photography books. Please spread the news about my blog so I can keep it alive!
