A photojournalism project done in 2013 to showcase my attempt at finding my birth mother and possible sister(s). Although my conclusion is unresolved, it shows the process of finding lost family through the use of narration and pictures. I still have not contacted or done anything else to find my birthmother. Life gets busy and things fall through the cracks, but someday I may pick up where I left off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1429773470796-F9W47TD0BVGMVYVDWL1T/Final_Print-5.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1410623875191-LFMT1599E17BHC5NU08G/Final_Print-4.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1410623870129-CO9E6I3OK05KXHID8LRB/Final_Print-5.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1429774919154-UNMBTLMBDO5QK0I1QVLM/20140317_3218.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1429774898177-S04E76EG6GIJ8EI8TK6J/20140317_3222.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1429774919815-XOZ4WYDVILDGIJMAZV1K/20140317_3243.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1429774983028-2YLQM1O0PFQY97IK51HW/20140317_3418.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1411517189934-OHG5GUWSV5TP2TY2PY7E/Final_Print-3.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1411517164925-3Y389SCZTHM12LCXWJP2/Final_Print-2.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1411517177984-QXYFLKT1C6VTSXRY95AW/Final_Print-1.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1410623896238-64YLCBA1N1X3U8D5AXUA/Final_Print-7.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1410623887533-PVVAUW13YJZV2WME1DQ5/Final_Print-6.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1410623923284-SJJQE30LO90PDMSAYRTY/Final_Print-8.jpg Portfolio http://www.samkeatingphoto.com/vietnamcopi daily 0.75 2017-09-08 http://www.samkeatingphoto.com/blog daily 0.75 2021-06-03 http://www.samkeatingphoto.com/blog/2017/10/1/bangkok-in-a-day monthly 0.5 2021-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880593072-KRPNK77KA3B0AVZO1CHP/IMG_7001.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880662984-P8P4ZB35LZHD35EEGLKG/IMG_7015.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880823008-5E8I8SFI9LV4R7ZPI6F1/IMG_7011.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880722315-EERXZBRAEIGVGTRUDG3T/IMG_7004.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880695266-2TOCXJFS9QTP6ZO5WYSX/IMG_7007.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880783661-XT5PK0UI6NJTK1OVXDPP/IMG_7010.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1506880805339-K58EKHVBQ68WH0IGBT2J/IMG_7003.JPG Blog - Bangkok in a Day http://www.samkeatingphoto.com/blog/2021/6/3/lv77i55i3b5wz2fx0t9oujj9t3txqw monthly 0.5 2021-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1622746803423-YYES1L4TMURSS4ZT803R/public.jpeg Blog - Back from the void 落ち着いて - Stay Calm - june 2021 http://www.samkeatingphoto.com/blog/2017/10/3/the-many-markets-of-vietnam-pt1 monthly 0.5 2017-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1507029690741-ENYD1X3VVLCRO1JXT8VX/IMG_7026.JPG Blog - The Many Markets of Vietnam (pt.1) Waiting for the ferry to depart at sunrise.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1507029724085-HSPTOHSP8KJC50NNQTVU/IMG_7027.JPG Blog - The Many Markets of Vietnam (pt.1) Approaching the now completed Cua Dai Bridge.

My passion for photography came when I was 14 years old and had the opportunity to travel to Italy. At the time, all I had was an old Nikon Coolpix and I knew little about how to take impressive pictures or work a camera. But something happened, I couldn't stop. Every street, corner, alley way, building, person. I wanted to capture every moment. It gave me a feeling that I was fully living in the present. I had found my passion. Since then, I have been chasing and challenging that feeling everyday. When I was 19 years old and just finished my first year at College for professional photography, I remember feeling trapped. I needed to get out. I reached out to an old family friend and she gave me the opportunity to travel to Vietnam with a medical aid organization as their photographer and assistant. I was so thrilled, I quit school, worked as much as possible for 1 year, and finally came to Vietnam for the very first time. Once in Vietnam, I was in love. The people, scenery, culture, food, smells, language, I felt that it was calling to me. I decided that I would not go back to school in the US and would attempt to start my business as a freelance photographer here in Hoi An, Vietnam. http://www.samkeatingphoto.com/homepage daily 1.0 2021-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f0470ee4b0bfa013c1ce68/1622747738399-9QT90NEM0J9HELU2OHYD/public.jpeg Home - "In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality." - Ansel Adams --------------------------------------------------------- Photography has been my passion since I was 14 years old. I can remember my first camera, my first pictures, and the excitement I felt When I learned a new technique or re-created a vision from my mind. It was the first time that I truly felt happy and connected to the world around me. It gave me a key to living in the present moment, instead of the distractions of past or future. The saying, "Everyone is a photographer now." Is meaningless to me. Passion and experience... a desire to document, explore, and experiment. To make photography a way of life is something I will be forever grateful for. I would not be a photographer without my subjects and it is always important to remember that A photographer does not take pictures, they are given them. ~ Samuel Keating
