PLOTTING

Taken in 2004 on a trip to the Philippines. On a visit to my mother's childhood home in Iriga, we were followed by a group of kids. They weren't troublesome at all, but definitely looked like they could cause some innocent mischief.

LOST

Taken in 2004 on a trip to the Philippines. Directly across the street from our hotel in Iriga, I saw this girl focused on something. I walked around and near her but her stare was fixed. She eventually faced me but it was as if she was looking past me.

ABOUT

My name is Dennis James Anzano and I'm a self-taught photographer currently living in San Diego, CA with my wonderful wife and our two crazy dogs. I created sans frontières to distract myself from the fact that I'm SLR-less at the moment and because I've always wanted to carve out an online space for my photography.

Many of the photos here are from my archives but I'm continually shooting - with my compact point and shoot - so you'll find a bit of my current work too. Thanks for visiting and I hope you find some of what you see interesting.

USE

Feel free to use any of my images, unaltered, for personal use but please credit me when posting to public sites. For prints or commercial use, please contact me. Thank you.
