Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”
– Alan watts

I'm Jaycee Malicdan, a California-based street photographer born in Yokosuka, Japan. Currently attending San Diego State University, I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Foods and Nutrition. Additionally, I serves as the Vice President for the University's Arts and Culture Club (ACC) and Public Relations Manager for the Student Nutrition Organization (SNO).

I developed an interest in street photography as a high school student in Camp Zama. My fascination with the Japanese people and their culture lead me to create photographs of them, acting as a means to overcoming the language barrier and interact with the community.

Since 2013, I have made photographs in Mexico, Canada, Thailand, Indonesia, and all throughout Japan and the United States. 
​
I have self-published 2 monographs: The Current State of State, 2016; and Nouner, 2017.

As of 2019, I began publishing Street Sweeper Magazine , a seasonal street photography publication to present my work.
