"You are only young once, and if you work it right, once is enough." -Joe E. Lewis

"Duc seizes the opportunity to explore fully what it means to be a human being." -Claire A. Gendler

"Duc Pham brings to this earth the most incredible ambition to teach others (and to perfect the art himself) to live life adventurously and fully. Through the years. Day by day. And by the moment. If only everyone had a Duc Pham in their life." -Heather Pollock, February 2006

I am constantly reinventing myself. I want to read all the books in the world. I want to experience all the places in the world. I want to taste the finest wines and sweetest fruits. I want to create the images that change the way people think. I want to write the stories that last forever. I want it all.

Then: Studied at Berkeley. Traveled the world. Lived in France. Played drums and percussion.

Recently: Photographed all three weeks of the 2004 Tour de France, the 2004 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, and Sundance Film Festival 2005. Traversed and photographed 14,000 miles of the United States, including stays in LA, DC, VA, NC, Florida, GA, Texas, Louisiana, IN, IL, MO, SD, WY, MT, WA, and Burning Man 2005.

Now: Starting my business. Writing my book. Printing my photographs. Shaping the future of America in the classroom. Saving the environment. Perpetuating chaos. Loving life. Making love to my iPod . . . and soon--making music again.

2006: Sundance Film Festival, Vietnam, SXSW Festival in Austin, World Cup Soccer Tournament and Love Parade in Germany, Running of the Bulls and Festival Internacional de Benicassim in Spain, Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, Greek Islands, West Africa, US Book Tour.

Later: South America, from bottom to top, on a bicycle. Carnival in Brazil. Cuba. Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Frankfurt Book Fair. Perhaps Shanghai, Indonesia, Thailand, and Cambodia.
