Wyoming, USA
Yellowstone National Park is a beautiful place with many wild animals. The last time I was at a picnic in the woods, I saw a huge grizzly bear digging through a garbage dumpster.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography by Vange Logan. Previously associated with the name VANCASO or VANCASSO.
Most of the photos are from my domestic and international travels during grad school; however, I did continue traveling after I moved back to California, but the growth of my photo collection has slowed down after I became locked down behind a desk. When I travel, I like to capture the contrast of light and dark, mostly the subject of what the light captures in the moment of space; thus, “capturing the light around the world.” It also entails, capturing the light or the glory of God’s creation around the world.
Montana
MT, USA
There’s a big expanse of land with a small population. It’s one of the biggest states and one of the least populated. Wherever we drove, there was no traffic. Whenever we went to the grocery store, there was no more than three people in line, most of the time, not even one person.
When floating down the river, we saw people fly fishing, birds feeding their young, deer and schools of fish. I’ve never felt so close to nature floating down that river, not one building, power pole or any man-made structure in sight, just nature.
The Capital
Washington D.C., Maryland, U.S.A.
There is power in air in D.C. I was sent by work to attend a conference. In between sessions I visited the monuments. I noticed the pool of water in front of the Lincoln Memorial was a breeding ground for mosquitoes as I kept being bitten while walking towards the monument.
India
The first time in New Delhi felt surreal. There was an Elephant walking on the street beside the cars and motorcycles, while on the side, monkeys were hanging on electrical wires.
Home of the Tallest Skyscraper
Abu Dhabi and Dubai, United Arab Emirates
A close friend, one I practically grew up with around the family, lived in Abu Dhabi. While visiting her, I searched for opportunities to work in Dubai, hopefully becoming an expat. While driving to her house from Dubai, I pulled over to the side to make sure I was going the right way. I could feel the dry heat immediately after shutting off the car. The dreadful thought of being stuck out in the hot desert crossed my mind. It was constantly hot, even at night.
Hawaiian Islands
Oahu and the Big Island
Locals don’t say “Hang Loose” for nothing. It’s so easy to loosen up when the beach and palm trees are so close by. Some wear slippers to work. I went straight to the beach right after work. It was almost like going on vacation at the end of each workday. When walking to work, you can have vacation on your mind until you walk through the front door. Everyone is relaxed and in a good mood, except for anyone from NY, even after many years, still uptight.
Switzerland
Land Flowing with the Best Chocolate
Bern, Dielsdorf, Zurich, Basel, Geneva, Neuchatel, Thun
While on the train, there are many captivating views of small towns between Neuchâtel, Zürich, Dielsdorf, Bern, Basel and or Geneva developed on the hillside or right along the lake. While walking through the old towns, one can spot the dominant clock tower amongst the rest of the buildings. Historic architecture is well preserved and there are places on top of the hill with panoramic views.
