Message From The Photographer: If you've been following me on social media, you'd know I've been dealing with vision impairment and gradual vision loss since August 2018. The conditions are neurological, so my vision isn't impaired the same amount on a daily basis, but overall it seems to be going down hill. It has slowed down and made taking photos, processing photos, using computers, etc... very challenging and somewhat depressing. Some days it is impossible for me to take photos or process them. I know these photos are from a very long time ago, but I'm only just starting to get around in processing them as I'm only able to work on them at a very slow pace. I hope you can understand, and I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

I started off my trip with a hike in Fall Creek Unit. Since I've taken a lot of photos here in the past, I only ended up taking 1 photo. Also, my vision impairment and vision loss made it very hard for me to see around in the dense foliage of the forest floor, which lead me to cutting the hike short as I had a lot of trouble. I always hike with someone else to make sure I remain safe on the trips.

June/July Cellphone Photos

If you follow me here a lot, you probably noticed I've became pretty quiet on this blog and my social media pages. That is because I have been extremely busy this past couple months with travel, photography, videos, and most of the time, with some other things I've also been working on. I haven't had much time to write blog posts or interact on my social media pages. With that said, I finally found some time to do some blogging and posting. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

In this blog post, I will be showing you cellphone photos from my travels in June and July. I also have a travel vlog from June which can be viewed here.

Once I have the DSLR photos from my trips posted, I'll link the blog posts here. As you probably guessed, processing them also got pushed back from how busy I have been.

Went to Taste Good Bejing in Milpitas, CA to eat dinner after the Fall Creek Unit trip. Sadly they didn't have anymore of this for the day. XD Don't get me wrong, the food at the restaurant is so good. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and love spicy Chinese food, I recommend you go try it.

What do you do when you need to recharge you smartwatch in the middle of the forest with no electricity? You generate your own. I bring a USB solar panel with me on wilderness trips in case of emergency or in cases where I don't want to drain my power banks. I was giving my friend a tour that day and he wanted to play in the snow a bit longer so I left this out to charge while we were there.

Also, please don't take the photo above as my support for Aukey. I only got this solar panel because it was on sale for incredibly cheap a while back on Amazon that it was hard to pass up. My past experience with Aukey customer service couldn't have been worse. They promise you something and don't follow through with it. Last time they did that to me and ignored me for a very long time until I told them about the followers I had on social media and threatened to do a review on the company. Then they tried to find some lame excuses to try to cover it up. They promised me a partial refund, which I agreed to, and then I was ignored for over a week and got no refund (I sent them a couple emails). That was until I told them I will make a review and my audience group. They tried to say something happened to their spam filter (any customer service group should be checking spam anyways as those filters are not 100% accurate) and then tried to tell me their customer service group was at some convention (they advertised on the Amazon product page 24/7 dedicated customer service). I'm not the only one having this. Seen others complaining about them ignoring support emails on the 1 star reviews too. Normally I take 1 star reviews with a grain of salt as sometimes competitors leave fake reviews, but based on my experience with the company, I have no reason to doubt these reviews are fake. Their products are good, but if you do get a lemon, don't expect them to do anything.

Before anyone think racist thoughts about Asians, that isn't my car. I took a photo because I thought it was funny. XD Hope it doesn't get towed... In their defense, parking at Muir Woods National Monuments is almost impossible to find due to the amount tourists.
