Asia Trip 012 - Film from the First Four Months - 002

Nick Hogan May 16, 2019

I recently was in Bali and got three rolls of film developed from the past four months of traveling. These little babies have made it through seven countries, tropical rain storms, countless bus rides, and a silly amount of immigration and security checkpoints. Having all three of these rolls in tact is nothing short of a god damn Christmas miracle.

This roll has shots from the second half of my time in Vietnam; living on a little island with no roads, cars and barely electricity in Cambodia; waking up at 4am to go wander around Angkor Wat and my first few days of living in Koh Phangan in Thailand.

Asia Trip 012 - Film from the First Four Months - 001

Nick Hogan May 16, 2019

I recently was in Bali and got three rolls of film developed from the past four months of traveling. These little babies have made it through seven countries, tropical rain storms, countless bus rides, and a silly amount of immigration and security checkpoints. Having all three of these rolls in tact is nothing short of a god damn Christmas miracle.

This roll has shots from when I first landed in Hong Kong and wandered through the streets and the first half of my time in Vietnam. There are scenes from Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Da Nang and the craziest fucking bus ride I’ve ever taken from Da Nang to Hoi An.

Asia Trip 011 - Koh Phi Phi, Thailand - 001

Nick Hogan May 4, 2019

This is a little write up about our time in Koh Phi Phi, this place was hands down my favorite island in Thailand! It’s so small that there are no roads, no cars, and only a few bicycles. You are constantly being bombarded by beautiful nature whether it’s massive cliffs covered in moss jutting out of ocean or incredible pristine beaches and wild views.

Asia Trip 010 - Koh Lanta, Thailand - 001

Nick Hogan May 4, 2019

A little write up of our time on Koh Lanta, a beautiful little island in Krabi that is teeming with nature and feels way less touristy than all of the other islands.

Asia Trip 009 - Koh Phangan, Thailand - 003

Nick Hogan May 3, 2019

So I’ve been traveling a lot lately and quite a bit has happened in the past month. I finished bar tending at my hostel in Thailand, Cate came to see me and we traveled all around Thailand for two weeks, I went to Malaysia and now am in Singapore waiting to leave for Jakarta and Indonesia in about two days. Currently scheming how to find a job in Bali and live there for a month or two.

Portugal Trip
June 22, 2025

Some photos and thoughts from a trip to Portugal in April 2025. Finally wrote everything down and cobbled it together. This is my first time in mainland Europe and went to Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Porto.

Learning more about the bittersweet curse of nothing feels as good as leaving home, and nothing feels as good as coming back home.

Costa Rica Trip
May 6, 2023

So it’s been about a month since I went to Costa Rica with Connor for about ten days. Apart from the flight and the first nights accommodation, everything else was booked last minute or an hour or two in advance. There was no pressure and it felt nice to have the freedom to change things if we needed, which we did frequently.

June 26, 2021

This is the second leg of our camping trip in Utah where we hiked and stayed around Bryce Canyon National Park. We camped in a wonderful upscale glamping tent and slept in beds above the ground. The days were hot at around 105 degrees and the nights were chilly at around 40 degrees.

SF Trip 003 - Third Quarantine Roll of Film Developed - 35mm
September 13, 2020

Just got a third roll of quarantine film back. The past couple weeks have been spent relaxing outside as much as possible, day trips along the coast, and just getting lost zigzagging in the city. These are some scenes from living life a little more slowly and six feet apart.

SF Trip 002 - Second Quarantine Roll of Film - 35mm
July 29, 2020

This is my second roll of film developed in quarantine. These past few months have been filled with strange times that feel like they keep getting stranger. One of the things that has kept me calm and has been a great release has been continuing to wander around the city in the quiet hours of the day. Waking up early in the morning to bike or wander around the city with no real goal other than getting out of the house and breathing fresh air. These are some subdued scenes from the past few months.

SF Trip 001 - First Quarantine Roll of Film Developed - 35mm
May 22, 2020

I just got my first roll of film developed in quarantine. I have been staying sane by running all over Golden Gate Park, reading mountains of books, and being one of the few people still wandering around the city. These are some scenes from living life a little slower and staying six feet apart.

Asia Trip 021 - Western Sichuan 川西 - 002
October 17, 2019

I absolutely LOVE TAGONG! It feels so unique, foreign, genuine, and real. It feels like the wild west here. Everyone has cowboy hats on, rides horses, there are big grasslands and it really feels like you’re living life on the fringes.

This place has a certain ineffable quality to it, that people can’t quite figure out. It feels like an old western way station town with monasteries, filled with so much Buddhist culture. The people here are gruff but unusually friendly, more wild and very rough. Everyone you talk to is usually Buddhist and are dressed in either normal clothes or traditional robes.

The bus ride here was absolutely incredible! The vastness of the landscape, the sky scrapping mountains and driving into and through the fog. This area truly feels foreign, unique and holy. I can tell I’m going to love this place!

October 10, 2019

I had a picture of this giant Buddha on my PC ever since I was sixteen and have dreamed of coming here for a decade. It’s a pretty wild feeling to see something online, want to venture there for years and one moment be standing right under a place you’ve always imagined.
